This Great Blue Heron had been poking around the edge of the pond for quite awhile before deciding on this stick.

It’s hard to tell from a distance, but I would not be surprised if a stick got hung up in the tree on one of these trips.

This time he made a successful delivery.

The couple take plenty of breaks, nest building goes in fits and starts, while another GBH is likely laying on eggs on the nest below.

What fantastic shots. I love the one of the couple building the nest
Thank you, Alice!
