It seems that the Great Blue Heron couple have abandoned nesting at the Skinny Tree sometime in the last week.

Another enterprising GBH spent a couple hours on Tuesday removing material from what had appeared to be a robust nest.

This heron’s nest is just at the other end of the pond, in the big island.

He made lots of trips mostly with small branches while I was watching.

Of course it is not theft to them, it is taking advantage of easy pickings.
