Based on the description, Kathy appears to be seeing a colony along Little
Tomahawk Creek, a tributary of Swift Creek Reservoir. The lower portion of
this tributary is a wide, forested wetland - just the type of habitat that
Herons like. This area was previously inaccessible but a relatively new road
allows you to drive through here now.
Unfortunately, the entire watershed of Little Tomahawk Creek is slated for
development, and most of it is already in the ground or soon to be.

I live in Woodlake and have noticed that on Watermill Parkway just a little
way past the Genito Rd. intersection, there is a colony of blue heron nests
back from the road that could be endangered by all the home construction that
is going on around there. They are chopping trees down and making home
developments and I wondered if you would have any influence in bringing the
colony to someone's attention so it is left alone and not destroyed. Thank
you, Kathryn King
