A new favorite rookery…

There’s a new rookery in town. Or, more correctly, a rookery that I’ve been hearing about but it’s taken me too long to try and find it. But the other day we went looking and discovered a lovely spot with easy access, and, best of all, we didn’t have to shoot over a fence to see the birds. The babies are mostly grown now, so I have made a mental note to go back in the spring to see the babies at their cutest.

Judging by the feathers on his head this is a young tricolor heron.

Woodstorks were providing the most action.

It gives new meaning to the term ‘bad hair day’.

Young egret siblings were feeling their oats.

This tricolor was sounding off the whole time we were there.

I think he was playing king of the hill.

This nest had the most action going on, but we couldn’t see what was happening.

It’s always fun to find a new place to go take pictures, and this one is close enough to be able to drop in to see what’s happening when the timing is better. In the meantime there are lots more places for us to go and find new and different things to see.

I can relate to the bad hair guys. There’s is coming in though, but mine is leaving me.
