Bue Herons Have Returned

 On  Friday March 19th  three Blue Herons were spotted at the Red Barn Preserve in the Rookery.  This is exactly to the day – the same date as they returned last year.  Since then more have followed and I would estimate at least 20 are currently in the nests as of this date.  Typically the males arrive first and select a nest.  The females follow later and choose a mate.  They lay eggs, raise their young and are gone from the Rookery by early July.  It’s a great time to visit the Red Barn Preserve to observe these birds.  You will need binoculars, cameras, warm apparel, and appropriate shoes.
