The Great Blue Herons that have nested near Everett's 10th street boat
launch may have departed. They were on the pilings as usual yesterday
morning, February 19. A short while later, from the bluff at Legion Park,
we saw a flock of about 40 herons circling north of the heronry. They
eventually headed northeast up the Snohomish River.

This morning no herons were at the nesting site. The Canada Geese that
have a nesting spot there were also gone.
