These Great Blue Heron pictures were captured in May 2006 at a Heronry at an undisclosed site in rural Warren County Ohio.  This photo session gave me some of the best six hours I've spent in the field to date!  There are at least 27 occupied nests in 4 or 5 Sycamore trees.  At least 40 to 50 herons were observed.
