π the bald eagle nest I keep an eye on now has chics, and one of the parents was sitting atop a tree across the river, watching them (or maybe taking a break? π )
π The tornados & flooding could have been a lot worse at Heron Haven. Our work has helped.
We had some downed limbs & trees, but nothing struck the house. It flooded high enough that the ponds became the creek, but erosion of the banks is pretty minimal. A bald eagle just flew overhead.
π Can you spot two elusive green herons?
(Hint, theyβre not green and are smaller (at least with their necks tucked) than other herons you are likely used to.)
We also had three great blue heron sightings, eight five-lined skink sightings, and our first common watersnake of the year.

Great animal day:
- tons of great blue heron activity (flying, stalking, wading, on Turtle Willow, & Turtle Stick)
- tiny bright five-lined skink
- wood duck pair (and again on Turtle Willow)
- lots of turtles sunbathing
Rough pond day: some of the land bridge needs further remediation after prior work.
