York PA rookery

 Hello,

This year we only visited the York PA rookery a couple of times. We did manage a visit on June 11th. The Black Crowned Night Herons and the Great Egrets had some competition with a nearby Great Horned Owl nest. We were told that this year there were not as many nest because of the nearby owl.

The Great Egrets seem to be doing well at this York, Pennsylvania rookery.

 Two Great Egrets chicks on the nest.

Two Black Crowned Night Herons at or near their nest.

The Great Egrets chicks almost look like adults at this time. You can still see a little fuzz on their heads.

A view of park and lake, the trees around this lake hold the rookery. We also saw lots of Mallard, hybrid ducks and Canada Geese.

For Tom's Barn Collective, I have another local barn/farm in our neighborhood. I hope you enjoyed our visit to the rookery.

Thank you for visiting and for the nice comments. As always, thanks to the wonderful group of hosts listed below.
