The Libby Hill Trails in Gray have a large Heron colony located in a beaver marsh.  Currently there are over a dozen active nests.  In years past there can be up to 3 dozen.  Activity is mid May until late June.  By mid June you will be able to see the chicks in nest .  Below is a link describing the 2 mile round hike on how to access the colony.  Once you get there you can move off trail (NE) to get improved views, bring your scopes or long lenses!  If someone is not comfortable hiking alone I could arrange a group (socially distanced) hike in next couple of weeks.     We also have a Google Map that helps you navigate the trails, it can be viewed here.
