Description
This beautiful, Great Blue Heron was gathering nesting material for his mate as they worked together to build a nest. His job was to fly back and forth to the shore to find nesting material, then fly it back to her. Her job was building the nest. Photographed in 2013 at the Venice Rookery on the Gulf Coast of Florida. A rookery is a nesting site where multiple birds nest at once. The Venice Rookery near Venice, Florida, is managed by the Audubon Society and is a small Mangrove-covered Island surrounded by a pond. Many species of birds nest here including Great Blue Herons, Great White Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Cormorants, and others. The pond is populated by at least two very large Alligators (see my gallery named "Dogs and Other Critters" on this website for some shots of the Alligators), so this is a fantastic place to get close-up shots of these magnificent birds and their Alligator guards.
