Mr. and Mrs. First Heron at noon
enjoying the view and the breeze!
...then again at 7:15, the eggs have been laid
and the nesting has begun!
The perfect end to St. Patty's Day!

Cool! Not too long, then, before the little fuzzballs begin to appear.
Great news, looking forward to seeing the story unfold :-)
Paul.
Wooo Hooo!! I can't wait to follow along and see their babys!
Hi Kelly, You will have to keep us posted on the family expansion of Mr and Mrs Heron. Phil
I still say that these photos are the coolest ever... good job Kelly!
How long on the incubation? Are we there yet?! LOL!
Can't wait to see this unfold - thanks for sharing!
Magnificent.. it is too coll to be able to follow them through their life!!! huge responsibility to raise their chicks! I'm eager to see the first pictures of the chicks.
Wonderful photos! This is my first visit to your blog. I'll stop by again to see how Mr and Mrs Heron are doing :-)
Good luck to 'em, they will need it to beat all the elements!!
Keep us posted on the new family Kelly. Great photos.
Thanks, everyone. I keep hoping the babies hatch before the leaves blossom out. They are in Sycamore trees which leaf out much later than the other trees, so we might be in luck.
Laure...they incubate the eggs for about a month. So I will be there a lot when the countdown is over! Thanks for dropping by Deb. I'll drop over to your blog to check it out!
This is great! I love the one of her sitting and him guarding :-) I don't think I have ever seen a heron sit before.
Hi Mary...I love that photo also. When eggs are there, they are sitting. They trade off also, so the male gets to incubate the eggs too!
