The great blue heron rookery on the south side of the Edmonds marsh was
abandoned last year, but yesterday? (3/18) ?I?saw? six herons perched on four
nests.? The nests can be seen from the marsh boardwalk, but best viewing is from
the Pt. Edwards walkway.??Hurry on?over as the nests?will not?be visible once
the trees leaf out.? The?nests are literally just below some of the favorite
perches of our local bald eagles, so I wonder how long any hatchlings will last.
