I have been blessed by being able to observe a family of green herons through the nesting cycle from site selection, nest building, to the maturing of the chicks. The adult pair chose a nest site that I could observe from the boat dock of my neighborhood lake. I was at the lake a few days ago when one of the juveniles landed on the dock I was on and posed for some close up shots. This is an uncropped image.
