We are going back! Our visit last April to Annalee Regenburg’s back yard was a witness of a bumper crop of Egret and Heron nests. We lost count at 100 nests. Annalee’s house backs up to the Great White Egret Rookery. The females sit on their nests all day and the males come into the nests in the evenings. We plan on observing this wonderful, sometimes noisy event. I’m sure we will see some snowy egrets and green herons, plus some night herons and Wood Storks too. They are all tucked in there too. One year we even saw Cattle Egrets. Walk around back when you arrive. We will go back again in May, to see babies!
As always, be sure to bring your water, binoculars, hats and sunscreen.
