Don't know if this is mom or dad to the chicks pictured in the nest shots I've been posting but it's definitely one of the parents. The nest looks to be about 4-feet wide and sits up on one side of a huge palm tree. The adult herons mostly hang out on the opposite side of the tree. I guess they want some alone time and who can blame them? I haven't managed to witness feeding time yet but would love to see the family gathered together at some point. Best viewed on black.
