Last Saturday I ran by the Heron Rookery and Floodwall to show some interested family members the herons and other birds. My best count was around 33 herons at the rookery site. Surprisingly, we also saw a Great Egret who may be setting up shop (hard to tell). Other highlights included an Osprey catching a fish right in front of us, a Mallard-Black Duck hybrid male and Northern Rough-winged Swallows. Hope you all had a good weekend! -David Bryan, Chesterfield
