  • After circling the entire park (for the first time in many many a moon) and capturing images of that family of ducks, I turned around and headed back towards my main reason for coming here today, yep that heron's nest. It had been almost a month since my last visit to the nest, and at that time I saw no chicks, and it was too deep a nest to tell if there were eggs in it yet. But the female never left the nest that day, and the male kept bringing here branches to shore up the nest. <br /> <br /> I was sure by now the chicks had hatched, and grown big enough to photograph clearly, and I was right. I was eager to know how many offspring they had this year. After spending a half an hour or so photographing the nest I could tell ft. here were 4 healthy chicks, just like last year.
