The Skinny Tree is hanging on and once again hosting a Great Blue Heron family.

There are three chicks, and amazingly all three appear to be thriving.

Other nests with triplets that I have observed over the years have at least one chick being much smaller and not surviving.

This year’s nest is pretty small compared to other years which will be a challenge for the family as the chicks grow.

I like those fuzzy heads 😊. Very nice photos!
They are sure working their “dos” 🤣. Thanks, glad that you liked them, Belinda.
Nice shots of this proud heron and it’s youngsters.
Thanks, Rudi!
Awww, they are so cute 🙂
