Great Blue Heron Chick at Arnold Heronry

I went back to the heronry this morning to check on the progress of the birds. I verified at least two chicks, and I suspect there are several more. There’s heavy foliage, and most the nests aren’t in full view.

A kingbird and a Blue Crab made an appearance as well.

I don’t often get a chance to photograph Blue Crabs.
