Today’s post comes from my February trip to Florida. One of my favorite shooting spots is the Venice Rookery. Today I’m featuring an active Great Blue Heron nest, located at the rookery.

Today’s images were taken early on, during my 2-day photo shoot here. In this nest, there are 3 “cute” nestlings:

In upcoming posts, I’ll share more of this heron family, including some of the typical behaviors often seen at an active nest.
