Herons In The Nesting Tree

There was lots of activity in the heron nesting tree in Alton Baker Park. I saw as many as a half dozen Great Blue Herons in the tree at once.
I got a number of fine images,some in flight. If I can get it done, I may post a gallery of heron shots.

Magnificent looking birds. Looks like there might be some courtship going on or maybe a territory dispute.
