Mr. Coffey,

I have been tryng to observe the GBH colony near BSG annually since I reported 
it 8 years ago. 
This year I only saw 3 nests.  Two nests had standing birds in late February.  
No nests seem to be active at this time.  
I have some anecdotal reports of birds being killed for eating fish in yard 
ponds, hit by cars and being found dead by the rivers.
I have seen many birds flying toward the nesting site but I haven't seen any 
nest activity since Feb 25.
