Description
This pair of Great Blue Herons were nesting together in the spring, preparing to soon lay eggs and then await their new family. The male, on the right, had just flown in, so the female stood up and here they are greeting each other so sweetly!
The original photo had a plain blue sky, so I added a little bit of cloud in Photoshop.
From Cornell's website: "Male Great Blue Herons collect much of the nest material, gathering sticks from the ground and nearby shrubs and trees, and from unguarded and abandoned nests, and presenting them to the female. She weaves a platform and a saucer-shaped nest cup, lining it with pine needles, moss, reeds, dry grass, mangrove leaves, or small twigs. Nest building can take from 3 days up to 2 weeks; the finished nest can range from a simple platform measuring 20 inches across to more elaborate structures used over multiple years, reaching 4 feet across and nearly 3.5 feet deep. Ground-nesting herons use vegetation such as salt grass to form the nest."
