Nesting at Ding

A Saturday morning trip through Ding yielded a few photos of nesting birds. As we walked past the first nest on the Indigo Trail, a yellow-crowned night heron was nestled down on the eggs.

When we came back by, the heron was standing up so that we could see the eggs. There are definitely two eggs and possibly three. But, what a look I was getting!

At the boardwalk on Indigo Trail, a yellow-crowned night heron displayed its mating plumage.

A pair of green heron lovebirds had built a nice little nest.

Daddy osprey was home with the teenagers, who appeared to be having issues with each other.

We dropped by the beach to see the beautiful turquoise water.
