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.

Joni, amazing capture! I feel like I am interrupting their private moment!
Joni Eskridge replied:
I know what you mean, Carol. I was holding my camera up and took several groups of rapid multiple exposures. I didn't realize all the actions that I had captured until after I got home and took a look at the images

Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much, William! It was such an interesting adventure - worth walking through fields, climbing over fallen trees and fighting with thorny undergrowth! Appreciate your visit and support.
