Great Blue Herons Starting To Return!

I checked a nearby Great Blue Heron Rookery recently and we delighted to find that the herons are beginning their return to the nesting area. I saw 6-8 of them including one pair that had claimed a nest already. I also heard some unusual (for me) bird noises so I put my Merlin app sound recording on and it identified it as wood ducks. I normally don’t care too much about ducks, but I have to say these are a gorgeous species! It’s beginning to look a lot like spring! (*No foolin’)
