4th times a charm…

Finally. Little bobbleheads popping up in the nests. We struck out the first few times we headed to one rookery or the other. Now both are blooming with babies, with more to come. Lots of fun for the photographers in the area.

It took a while to spot the chicks in this tucked-away nest.

A photographer recently pointed out their slightly prehistoric look. I have to agree. Egret chick.

Mom and Dad’s pride and joy. Wood storks.

This seemed to be the biggest baby we saw.

I find these little wood stork babies to be so cute. Or maybe it’s in comparison to their adult selves.

Snowy egrets are there. We hear their funny calls. But their nests are tucked into the low branches too far to hope for a photo.

Stay tuned for more babies. Possibly on easier to see nests.
