Photobombing GBH. I was focused on the one standing then the one in flight arrived just as I clicked the shutter and is OOF but saving anyway. :) The two on the left have yet to start their nest. They better get busy. :-)
Great Blue Heron rookery active again this year, about 14-15 nests. About 125 yards from the road, about 75 feet high and only a small window to shoot through the trees between us. Only there a short time, extremely windy and got overcast so detail and exposure off on many. Will be going back check on them from time to time.

Dad placing stick on nest where he thinks it looks good while mom is rather hidden and sitting on eggs. I'm sure she will rearrange the stick where it really looks best later. :-)

Finally arriving at its nest behind a lot a small branches with its stick after flying all the past the other nests. Mom looked a bit alarmed on the nest when he arrived. :-)
