Great Blue Heron(Ardea herodias) |
Description: Big birds serious about nesting. My second day at Aransas NWR on Monday, was only a half day, so I drove south to Rockport where I would board a boat (the Skimmer) on Tuesday to see a whole new side of the reserve. In exploring the town I saw the ever-present Laughing gulls perched on a fenceline. After stopping I noticed I'd stumbled onto the Rockport Rookery, an 8+ acre site the city purchased from the Beasley family. |
