A Green Heron at Frank Melville Park

Thursday, August 22, 2019,

This is a Green Heron I saw at Frank Melville Park in Setauket. These beautiful birds have nested here for almost four years. I say almost because this year’s nest failed. Despite their failure, the herons still stop by from time to time. Hopefully, they will try again next year. I miss seeing the kids hanging about. JK

Up Close and Personal With a Great Egret at Frank Melville Park

Wednesday, July 31, 2019,

These are two closeup photographs of a Great Egret that I saw at Frank Melville Park in Setauket. There is a pair of these that visit the park every day. They may even live there. As you may know from reading my previous posts about Frank Melville, I am a big fan of the park. And so, apparently, are the Great Egrets and many other birds. On the same day that I took these photographs, I also saw a Kingfisher, a Green Heron, and a Black-crowned Night Heron. All are regular visitors to Frank Melville. Maybe you should visit as well. I think you’ll like it there. JK
