The Herons Are Back
Now I know spring is coming.....yesterday we drove to Bath road
between Riverview and Akron-Peninsula roads where we saw these large
birds nesting. They have been coming each year to this colony to start
their nests. They are called Great Blue Heron because they stand about
four feet tall with a wing span of almost seven feet!! Here is some
info on these interesting water foul. We should see the females soon and they will be laying 3-7 eggs which will hatch in May.
On the left are some pictures that I have taken over the years.
