Blue Heron spring arrival!
In Ontario, the Minesing Wetlands provide ideal breeding grounds for great blue herons and are home to one of the largest and oldest known colonies in the province, with more than 200 active nests. Which is exactly were this early arrival was found!

Great Blue Heron
Many of the blue Herons have flown south for the warmer weather, perhaps the one knows about the Hurricane hitting the east coast today and decided to stay a little longer, but I doubt it. This one was settling in for the evening and eventually went to sleep whit’s head tucked in.

Graceful yet awkward…
Blue Heron Rookery
While in Florida I was lucky enough to come across a Heron Rookery, these young herons look like they are almost at the fledgling age. They are always starving hungry and very demanding of the parents when they bring back a meal which then needs to be coughed up.
Tricoloured Heron
This fellow was most indignant when I almost backed into him while taking a photo of another bird, his head popped up as if to say “excuse me but thats close enough”. I was caught off guard, however I did mange to take a photo as I retreated.
