In the last few days, we have started observing nesting behavior at the heron colony here in the park.
Heron’s typically pick new mates every year, and once eggs are laid it takes approximately 10 weeks for the chicks to grow into fully fledged juveniles.
We started our regular heron surveys last Friday! Follow us on social media for updates on the nests throughout the rest of the nesting season.
