Egret & Heron Rookery


I stumbled across this rookery almost by accident. I saw some Black-Crowned Night Heron carrying twigs on my way to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area this morning. I decided to check it out on the way back. I'm glad I did! You can enlage these pictures by clicking on them.

This is a Night Heron sitting on a nest.

Cattle Egrets.
These pictures were taken at the wrong time of the day under terrible lighting conditions. Check back, I'll be visiting these birds often.
