Day 3, nesting Great Blue Herons, Rockport rookery
DAY 3 is DONE - yay! Haven't decided yet, but I might just post a few local photos that I have taken recently, mainly so that I don't forget to post them, rather than start on Day 4.
HAPPY EASTER, everyone! It seems an appropriate time to think of all those (around the world) who have been affected by the enormous damage that Notre Dame, Paris, has recently gone through. I can't remember if I have seen this stunning Cathedral twice or three times, many, many years ago. I was reading on the Weather Network this evening that three beehives had been installed in Notre Dame during 2013 as part of a city-wide initiative to boost dwindling bee numbers in the city. Nearly 200,000 bees have been found alive below Notre Dame's main roofing.
Having flooded my photostream with Whooping Cranes the last few days, and then with Cormorants, this morning, I posted a few odds and ends of plants and birds taken at a beach. Tonight I added th elast 15 images from Day 3, mainly taken at the unexpected rookery in Rockport.
After leaving the beach, someone happened to notice either herons or cranes on the top of a beautiful stand of trees. We decided to check it out and as we rounded a corner of the road, we couldn't believe our eyes! We had come across another rookery, this one in Rockport. There were quite a few Great Blue Herons, Egrets, and at least one Black-crowned Night Heron. I posted a dreadful photo of the latter, just for the record. The only reason I spotted it was because of the bright red eye. People are not allowed to approach the rookery, of course.
I was reading that, after Hurricane Harvey in 2017, people did an amazing job of clearing out all the debris of broken branches under and around the trees at the rookery - and then realized that they had removed all the branches that the birds would be needing to rebuild their nests. Needless to say, that was put right by adding piles of broken branches nearby.
