My first Saturday's Critter linky was on Dec 7, 2013. As long as I have critter lovers joining in with my critter party, the linky will go on and on. Thanks to all who participate with Saturday's Critters. 

July 11th, we met up with a friend for lunch in York Pa. It was the first time meeting up since Covid started, at least a year and half went by. Hubby and I left a little early and took a walk around the Kiwanis Lake in York Pa to see the Great Egret and Black-crowned Night Heron rookeries. 

1. The Kiwanis Lake in York Pennsylvania. 

2. In the tallest pine trees across the lake are the Great Egrets and their nest. 

3. A closer look at the Great Egrets at their rookery.

4. Most of the Great Egrets nest were in 3 tall pine trees standing close together. 

5. The juvenile Great Egrets have grown a lot since our last visit to the rookery. 

6. Various images of mostly juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons. On this visit we saw more juveniles than adult night herons. 

7. A Slider Turtle is seen with 3 juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons. 

8. A juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron standing on the pipe.

9. In the background and on the left side of the stick and the juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron is an adult Night Heron. The adult heron's and the nest must be hidden in all the greenery.

10. I count as many as 7 juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons below, some only small parts are seen. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing these Great Egrets and Black-crowned Night Herons.  We had a nice walk, visit with the birds and our friend.
