David, I work in the er at the UW and two weeks ago I saw two GBH in the
tree and they looked like they were nest building. There was another GBH
in a spuce about 50-100 yards towards the canal and I was wondering if a
new heronry was in the making. Wouldn't that be great? i have not been
up to the observation post but I have not seen them at the nest site
since then although I have been looking. I'll let you know if I see them
again. Please let me know if you see them. Thanks. Patrick
