About eight or 10 years ago a couple of dozen pairs showed up and built nests throughout the neighborhood. They have come back every year since. I currently have two nests in my front yard that started out with a total of seven chicks. Early on, several were pushed or fell from the nests and died. There is a chick on the ground as we speak. Not sure if it can fly. The adult returned and seems oblivious to its plight.Jimmienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34040877.post-86691414891170885052011-05-02T01:10:53.393-04:002011-05-02T01:10:53.393-04:00We have had 3 pair nesting in our neighborhood in ...We have had 3 pair nesting in our neighborhood in Austin just north of the river and west of MoPac exprwy. They have been nesting here the last three years since 2008. Although, this year something is robbing their nests eggs. We have found several on the ground below their nests. <br />Joe<br />jmb3arch@yahoo.comJoehttp://jmbarchitects.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34040877.post-50102103584088946802009-03-29T19:22:00.000-04:002009-03-29T19:22:00.000-04:00Three of the Herons have been spotted and photo'd ...Three of the Herons have been spotted and photo'd in the North Hyde Park 'hood of Central Austin,<BR/>3/29/09.
