Day 359 - Heron Condo

I was driving in Kent today in the work van when I passed by this stand of trees.  I have known there were several nests in it for quite a while because in winter there is no foliage to hide them.  The empty nests in those barren trees were easy to see.

Today was a different story.  I couldn't believe how many Blue Herons I saw in these trees!  There still aren't any leaves on the trees, but it's apparently nest-building season.  I counted something like 9 of these huge birds in just a few trees all grouped together.  They were quite a ways away, but I snapped a few pics of them anyway.

Too bad I don't have a better lens!
