Description

When spending time in a local Great Heron Rookery, I had the privilege of observing this pair going through their nest building ritual. Once the building material was brought, and handed over to build the nest, the male first curled, then stretched his neck all the way out as if announcing his proficiency. I observed this behavior in a number of the males in the rookery. Once this behavior was completed, he joined his mate in the nest.
