more Hampden heron activity
I took a walk down to the herons’ nests again this afternoon (see here for my previous talk of these large local birds) and saw a few cool things. First, the light in the middle of the day is much better than in the morning. Next midday trip will be with the camera and hopefully some more photos with some more light will be up at the online Hampden Heron gallery before long.
Also, I scouted out the third nest a little more pointedly today, bush-whacking my way along the creek until I had a good gander at the nest. It looks like there are at least two, if not three, chicks in this nest. While I was watching them, something big flitted across the field of view. And sure enough, one of the babies from the populous nest (the larger one of the other two nests) was flapping around. This was the first sighting of any of the young airborne. Won’t be long until they’re gone…
