We feel the third Heron may be one of their offspring, raised last year, hogging the nest.

Thanks, Mike! I had no idea about that nickname. So, your comments are supportive and, often, educational. Both appreciated to the max!

You nailed the flight shot of this beauty, Mark! Really nice!

Thanks very much Mike! It was nice to see them back. I did think later that this really ought to be in the Birds in Flight thread!

Really magnificent details in this photo.
They are a very attractive species

Thanks very much Richard. I think they are but many around here think that they are becoming a pest. I could watch them for hours!
