White Herons and Wood Storks nesting...Pls look, I need encouragement!

NancyMoranG · Mar 31, 2017

Hi,
Haven't been on in months and just recently got he camera out. Been a depressing time with family issues.
On a quick trip out to the store recently, I took the back road behind store and found a small retention pond with an 8' high chain link fence. It is LOADED with nesting birds!!
I had to go home and blow the dust off my barely used Nikon 200-500 and go back!

these were taken @ 3 weeks ago and chicks have gotten big. But to start off with the plumage, nest building and pairing...here you go.
C/C welcome, esp on pp and the whiteness of birds.

Thanks all. Nikon 7000, Handheld and/or resting on top of chainlink fence ( sometimes while the other people are moving the chain link fence to steady themselves on their step stools and ladders

Thanks. We are scheduled to be back at Cape @ April 15 in gov't camp spot. Park by Sagamore Bridge mainland side, walk under bridge. Take the right path past 'no trespassing ' and you will see 3 private spots. That's us..
Should have a TPF picnic
