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

A pair of green Herons raised three chicks in a nest they built at Frank Melville Park. Scores of us bird watchers got to enjoy the sights of them growing up. These are two of those juveniles. At this stage, they’re just about the same size as their parents but those fuzzy heads are proof that they’re still just kids. JK
