High Island, Texas, Smith Oaks Rookery.

It must be a real drag to sit on the nest for hours at a time.

“Its tiring sitting on this nest”

This Great Blue Heron nest is on private property. We were allowed to walk into their field a short distance. I was too far away from the tree for quality photos, but they tell a story! It is nice this tree is secluded.

I hope you enjoy their story.
