Nest Building Herons at Greenview!



Dear Birders,

Yesterday I noticed a pair of great blue herons standing around one of last
year's nests here at Greenview.
We had seven nesting pairs here last year.  This morning I observed three
birds in the trees.

Last July the beaver dam washed out and some of us have been concerned that
there might not be enough water left for the herons to find the area an
attractive nesting site.

Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come.

Other recent sightings: coopers hawk, green winged teal, hooded mergansers,
and ring necked duck.
