Watching the Heron Webcams

Last spring, I enjoyed watching the heron nest at Sapsucker Woods (the Cornell Lab of Ornithology) more than television! A pair of herons is settling in to lay their eggs at the same location now - and the two webcams focused on the nest provide excellent views. Here are the links:

The main webcam (from the side of the nest, there is a chat stream to the right of the image)

The second webcam (maneuverable, above the nest)

A picture from 4/8 of the male and female with breeding plumage (and others in a flickr set to browse through)

A video of mating on 4/9

(My pictures of herons in this post are from Centennial Lake in Maryland and taken last October).
