Another nesting season has begun for the Great Blue Herons and this male was on a mission to find some nest material.

You can see from looking at the stick selection on the ground around him that he should have considered going a bit further from the nest.

He eventually found a small stick.

The route to his nest in the skinny tree was into the sun so this isn’t much of an image but gives you the idea of the action. And that the skinny tree is still standing.
