It feels like spring in Atlanta, so I headed over to Chattahoochee Nature Center for a hike. My habit of looking all around, including upward, was rewarded when a heron landed high in the branches above me. Male herons search for branches which they carry to females to build their large nests. Nests are built in a rookery, a collection of multiple nests, high in tall trees near wetlands, lakes, or ponds. Females will lay two to six pale blue eggs which will hatch in 26-29 days.

Can you find the heron?
