Great Blue Heron love is in the air

1 Great Blue Herons changing of the guard #1-1471

It’s breeding season for Great Blue Herons and I’ve been photographing this pair since they began building their nest late last year. The eggs are laid and it shouldn’t be long before we have hatchlings. The above photo was taken when the mates were changing places sitting on the nest, the following photos I took after the changing of the guards.

There was just enough of a breeze to fluff up and show off the breeding feathers.
