Great Blue Heron nests
May 2012 a friend of mine took me and another friend to a place where she'd found eight great blue heron nests. The pictures shown are not taken at a nature preserve or a zoo. They are on someone's farm that my friend knew. We were able to walk all around taking pictures. Sometimes the great blue herons would stay in their nests and other times they took flight. But they always came back to their young. We were also able to see the young peaking out their tiny heads. What a great day...

Cool, it is neat seeing these huge birds on the treetops.. Great sighting of the nest.. Have a happy day!
Great Blue Herons are such fun birds. They certainly like their nests to be HIGH in the air!
herons are lovely birds - I must take a walk sometime soon to where they hang out round here
A lovely experience and your photos were great.

I have never seen a great blue heron nest but now I will look for them in the trees. Was this on a river?

I have never seen a Blue Heron, but always enjoy seeing Grey Herons in their loch-side tree-top nests when we are in Scotland in the summer.
I would love to see their nests in person

That must have been a treat to be able to see the young herons in their nests.
Wow that is totally awesome. So many nest and to be able to see the young in them is just fantastic. Now following your blog.
Hello there, I just popped back to answer your question asked on the comment regarding the fairy garden I posted. It isn't mine, we found it at one of our favorite walkabout places, a botanical garden not too far from home. Thanks so much for visiting and have a great weekend :)
