For now the Great Blue Herons will take turns but as the chick grows he has to fend for himself sometimes. I’ve seen that go bad with aggressive Great Egrets winning ☹ .
That Great Egret knows a good, safe tree when he sees it, and my prediction is there will be at least one other nest in that skinny tree. Thanks, Rudi, glad that you liked them.
Yes, Tina, that’s the tree, about half way down the long side of Ravenswood Pond. There are way fewer nesting Great Blue Heron pairs around that pond compared to when we first went six years ago. What I always thought was the best tree, on the short end of the pond, hasn’t had any occupants so far.
Will probably hop in when great blue goes fishing…

🙁 It’s the side of birds nobody wants to think about.
I’m affraid the Great Egret has to look for an other place for buiding a nest 🙂 Nice shots Ellen.

Really lovely Ellen – were you out at Magnolia for this one? Looks very much like their favorite nesting tree!

OMG! I so love The Skinny Tree!
A delightful sequence of the antics, and the animated voices add a perfect touch!
Five stars!

Thanks, Paz! This tree has provided me with countless hours of entertainment over the last several years and this was a top show.
