Hubby and I visited the York Pennsylvania rookery on May 14th. There are Black Crowned Night Herons and Great Egrets nesting in the trees around a little lake in the middle of the city.  It seems this year the number of nests are dwindling. It seems like the rookery is smaller each year.  

1.  Black-crowned Night Heron, looks like it is taking a nap. 

2. Below are a couple of Black-crowned Night Herons, I assume the female is sitting on a nest and is somewhat hidden behind the leaves.

3. Below is a Great Egret and you can see 2 baby egrets fuzzy heads sticking up out of the nest. 

4.  The Great Egrets were plentiful, various trees had 3-4 Egret nests.

5. Great Egret was breaking off branches to take back to the nest. 

6. I counted at least 6 Great Egrets in the photo below.  One is kind of hidden behind a branch.  

  

7. A Great Egret looking for food , not far away were a couple of Canada Geese.

8. Incoming, a Great Egret flying back to the nest..

I have posted about this York Pa Egret and Heron rookery here.  Our  first visit I posted about was back in 2012.
