Watching and Waiting!

These photos are the results of the keen observation of my great nephew Andrew. He sighted this Black Crowned Night Heron and her nest above the basket ball court in his neighborhood,  and knew that it would spark my interest.

On my first visit earlier this week, I confirmed the nest location. On my second visit this morning at 8:00am, I was delighted that the nest builder was also present, watching and waiting. 

I hope that you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them on camera!

Today at 8:00pm  (06/04/2011), I visited the nest again, and was delighted to see a young baby Heron.

That looks more like a night heron, possibly. The legs are too short to be a great blue. Fascinating to see though, what a great nest!
