Kelly and tweets,

I would guess that the rookery just west of the Locks is not the one Connie
is talking about. That rookery is still active, or at least was last
year. It's treacherous to walk below any time of year, as it's thick with
nesting herons in the summer and with roosting cormorants in the winter.

Unfortunately I can't help with info on any other historic heron nesting
sites in Magnolia.

Good birding,
Matt Dufort
