On Sunday afternoon, we packed the snacks and headed over to the Camden Bridge and parked in our normal spot in the North Metro Mississippi Regional Park Parking area... then headed north of the bridge to check out what all the nests where in the island just past the bridge. I had been driving over it during the last week going to meetings and noticed all the nests! Well, I guess that the blue herons come here every year to nest and if you go around 8-9am or at dusk you will be able to see 100's of these delicate birds from the banks of the Mississippi.
As a photographer, I was wishing that I had a longer lens to capture the wildlife a little bit closer to the tree-tops. As it was, I was able to get in and capture a bit of the action. We sat, laid and watched through the binoculars as these birds fine-tuned their nests and settled into them.
It was a great way to spend a sunny afternoon!
