This is prime real estate to build a nest. Surrounded by water it’s safe from below. However, there are plenty of disagreements.

I thought it looked like the chick was giving an almighty sqwark and looking at the enlargement it appears to be about to swallow something.. a little fish perhaps… what an awesome photo Ted! Love it
Thanks. Those small bird make noise all day.
I was surprised to see these two together. Very unusual because a heron already has a nest and a chick. What are the Great Heron doing there?
The rookery trees are crowded with several different species each year. I am always surprised but that’s how they do it.
It does lead to territory issues, some young are lost, all kinds of problems. But they still do it.
