Good morning Scott! Yes, it is very early for you! Titter
Glad you saw the feeding. Amazing how they regurgitate to the floor of the nest and the chicks go after it. I missed that feeding while I was feeding dogs! Titter Sure glad you got it.

Pricilla--This nest is amazing isn't it?

I've been looking at a lot of baby heron pictures and the only thing I could think of was how much their "hair" looks like Rod Stewart's hair early in his career---and they sound like him too!! Rolling on floor laughing

I had a few s'caps but they look like those already posted sooooo--maybe tomorrow morning we will have a 4th baby!!


Hello Scott + Nancy!! Nice to see you here!!
