MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I visited the Great Blue Heronry, on an island in the Potomac, 1/3 mile below the Rt. 340 bridge, Washington County, MD. Two Great Egrets were present and on nests. One was lying on the nest, as if incubating. The other was standing, prodding something in the nest with its bill and feet. Viewing is harder with all the leaves now, but a good vantage point from the towpath is exactly at the Milepost 59 marker. Will post some 800x video grabs eventually.
