At the Eccles Wildlife Education Center at Farmington Bay, the local Rocky Mountain Power Company has erected a group of poles with supports that allow great blue herons to nest safely. The herons then gather nest building materials for Spring mating and hatching.

This set shows some of the early arrivals already staking claims. There are about eight poles and they become very popular. As the season goes on, I will provide updates.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Interesting, Mike!

I particularly like the composition of the second image. If I may suggest cropping a bit from the bottom so that the image is not quite so evenly divided by the pole, that may be an interesting modification. As always, IMHO! Lovely captures in any event Mike.
