At heron towers things are progressing. Saw three young adolescent herons lurking around the bank trying their luck at hunting for dinner. I assumed that it must be all three of the youngsters who I have been stalking observing during the past couple of weeks but no as two of them were standing in the nest so the other two must have flown in from elsewhere (one of them must have been from the nest).
Canada geese were screeching and chasing each other around the pond, the ducks …well they seem to have quieten down though the past few weeks have been horrible watching male ducks dragging off female ducks by the neck who are trying to protect their young. I also saw lots of feathers that looked like they had been torn off a female duck 
There seems to be more heron nest building. One is being built at the top of a high tree (they abandoned their other one possibly finding a more suitable alternative). Another one is being built in a smaller tree I watched two herons flying around grabbing twigs and branches.
One of the herons scared off one of the adolescent herons who possibly wandered too close the nest. And it is also seems that the hunting skills of the adolescents are getting impressive as one of them caught some prey.
Great, great pics. Mnay thanks.
