Our local great blue herons have established a new rookery near the Old North Bridge.  I spotted about a dozen nests and it appears that at least three are active.  Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to get any closer than I did for the shot above which means image quality is not going to be optimal. Still, I will probably visit often to see if I can capture some pictures of the babies when they hatch.

My sister-in-law, Marie, and Jeanine left this afternoon for a yoga workshop in the Berkshires. Jeanine seemed very excited about the getaway until she learned that guests are encouraged not to talk during their visit.  Can’t wait to hear the report when they return on Sunday.
