Yesterday morning I went back to the local rookery, just a couple of blocks from my home. The perfect viewing spot is directly behind the Dollar Tree Store. The Lincoln Hills Photography Club gathered there for a morning shoot. The Great Egrets are busy building their nests and a few Great Blue Herons are already sitting on nests there. This Great Egret, sporting green lores and long plumes that indicate breeding plumage, had just launched from the trees in search of more sticks for the nest.
