It was dark and even some rain but there are so many things starting in the swamps we went out.
The Great Blues are pairing up, or calling for a mate. Males are getting the ritual first sticks.

Me, I found a good spot (in spite of sharing it with a larger gator) where I could photograph the back and forth flow.
Beautiful
Thanks so much. They will be busy now for a few months. So will I 😄😄
We miss them. A few of them up here during the summer and it always feels like a treat to see them.
In Connecticut we had some sturdy ones, down here is their breeding regions.
