when Herons build their nest....I noticed an unusual smile on their face, they seem more jolly anyway :) It is truly fascinating to watch them... I initially thought that they were just picking dead branches suspended in the trees for their nest but they literately break branches from the trees. They are real acrobats as they have to stay balanced on a relatively small branch using their long skinny legs while pulling and cracking the branch they want to take to the nest. Some herons are amazingly skilled, they are in and out of the tree in no times with a branch while others fly in, and have to hop from one branch to another and then another until they finally get something they are happy with... some herons leave with nothing... I wonder what their partner think of that performance when they return to the nest beak empty.
