This morning I ran past the location Jean talked about in her e-mail earlier this week. I would like to confirm that this is an active Great Blue Heron rookery. There were 20 birds in the trees noted in her email. There were pairs standing on 8 nests and the other birds were standing on tree branches near the nests. I did not have binoculars because I was running but it was very obvious when one knows where to look. I run here every Sunday morning and will enjoy monitoring the activity.
I also have the good fortune of having a Red-tailed Hawk nest across the street from my home in Parker. It is high in a tree in a green space that backs up to my neighbors’ home. I’m hoping I won’t get arrested as a peeping tom as I have my spotting scope set up in the living room and from the street it appears to be aimed directly at their house. Not really, it’s watching the female on the nest and the male standing guard duty nearby.
