Yesterday, I showed an image of the heron rookery in Vernon, which is, truly, a beautiful thing, and called it Oh to Be a Heron in the Springtime. Click here to see the heronry if you missed it. Today, we’re going back to the same site 4 weeks ago, before the nests were so fully occupied.
North Vernon Heronry on March 18, 2014
That day I went for a wander among the junked furniture and fallen trees …
… and tried in vain to get all the nests into one clear shot. Still, there are a lot of them …
… and some were occupied …
… and, well, ahem, cough cough, the herons were not alone.
Everyone waits for the eggs to hatch, for different reasons.
And if someone drops a frog on the way home for dinner, well, the anticipation is half the reward.

Dear professor Harold ……..YES>>>>absolutely on the mark…..too bad you have not seen Manfred’s “corked eagles”. Now, I am obliged to show you one, or two, perhaps a crow, picking on a bone in a meadow. I am tearing apart more unnecessary …stuff, nearing the end. It is starting to sound a little less garbled. How I seem to hate throwing away perfectly good letters……… Manfried
