Just over a year ago at the swamp nesting activity was in full swing as green became the predominant background color.

The GBH chick popped up for a look.

A wider view of Ravenswood Pond and the multi-nest tree: Great Blue Heron, three Great Egret, and at least two Anhinga nests.

It just seems incredible to me that there can be so many nests in a single tree. I really like the shot in which the little Great Blue Heron pops up for a look.
It is incredible, Mike. And as the chicks get bigger the Great Egrets get meaner about trying to drive the GBH away. It’s amazing that any of them survive.
