Great Blue Heron Nesting

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

A great blue heron in the nest with young.

While taking the Hubbard Marina dolphin watch cruise at John’s Pass, we passed by Dog Leg Island, a thin sliver of mangrove  island covered with nesting birds. Pelicans and American egrets were well represented, but this family of great blue herons caught my eye. That’s a big baby to have to feed every day!
