Great Blue Heron Nesting Series

The following series of pictures was taken at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. It shows a pair of mating Great Blue Herons from the initial building of their nest, through the birth of their chicks, and ultimately to the chicks as fledglings. The sequence starts in early February 2011.
