Will These Sticks Make a Nest?

This does not look like good support for a Great Blue Heron nest. How would an egg stay put?

Clearly a lot of work has gone into stick gathering and placement in the V of this dead tree.

I’m hoping the prospective parents are just practicing until they locate a spot with more support.

Lovely photos, Ellen. That third photo with the sun shining through the GBH’s bill is especially stunning.

Thank you, Jet. It is neat to be able to see this spot and get different lighting from three angles the way the trail winds around the pond.
