Great Blue Heron
**************************
May 11th one week later.
*********************************************************
These will be the last images I can take of this Heron nest.
**********************************
Well, what-ya think? Should we fly this nest?
*********************************************
What do you think POPs should we try to fly out'a here or not?
***********************************
Up-Up & away.
The chicks were getting out of the nest a few feet away so making that 200 mile
trek again I feel would be to no avail. Surely in another week they would be gone.
****************************************
Herre is the tree the nest is in.
You can just barley see the nest in the top of the tree dead center.
************************************************
OH; one last thing. While I was concentrating on the Heron photography
this little guy would stick it head up and it looked as if it was grinning at me.
I don't know if a mole or a goffer
*****************************
*******************
Let me know if you know what it is.

On May 18th I had an opertunity to be in the Yuma area once more so I thought I would check out the G/Blue Heron nest site.
After this much time I figured the chicks would have fledged, but much to my surprise they had not. So here a few more
images. It's now hard to tell the chicks from the adults.
Might as well take a look if you have come this far.
