That would be lovely to watch them building the nests. I still follow Jocelyn Anderson, a local photographer who goes to Kensington Metropark daily to feed the birds from her hand and videotape them. When they are done with breakfast, she gets her camera out and has been doing the same as you, watching the rookery nest building. She says there are many nest and “in progress” … it is amazing to watch. I will look forward to more pictures and the video.

Thank you RJ, it was truly a gift to come across this nesting site. I have always wanted to see one. They are such a tall bird, one would think they would not have a nest so high up.

Love your work, Sandra. Such cool creatures. The identification of male and female is insightful. I also like the way you identify these birds, something that I would think most may not see. Glad you got to study them and record their activities.

In reply to Brad M. Thank you very much Brad. They are so similar, it did say the males have a slightly longer bill, but very hard to see the difference in that as well.
