I believe that there has been a Green Heron nest around the boat house too. Today we had several chicks around, this one flew right in front of us and landed in the dead tree just yards from the boat house deck. Gave us a nice photo op.

My apologies for the poor quality of this picture but it was taken at maximum zoom on my little Canon SX260. This is a picture of the blue heron nest that is situated on the bank opposite the boat house. Quite easy to see from that vantage point but binoculars are a must. The chicks are almost ready to fledge. Imagine the parents chore in keeping those little ones fed!
