This is now a common scene in the swamps. The Great Blues have gone into full nesting now.
The trick now is the build one strong enough to withstand the winter weather / storms we still have coming. Yes, we do get below freezing for short periods but the real test is wind and rain.
Wonderful to see you chronicle the “family life” of these birds through your terrific photos!
I hope to catch some from mating through the first flights of their young. Last year we were lucky and did just that. Usually some heartbreaks over the months, but a project worth the work. Thanks.
