Hi Fritz,
Twenty-five plus years ago while conducting wetland surveys in Yarmouth
Co. we came across a colony of Great Blue Herons whose nests were built
on the bare rock of a rocky islet in a fresh water lake. The Birds of
North America account indicates that while they usually nest in trees 30
meters or higher, they will nest on the ground of predator free islands
if suitable trees are not available.
All the best,
Lance

Hi All
I posted the message below awhile ago but got no response so
I thought I might repost and see if anyone had some answers or comments
on either question. The heron nests are active with birds on the nest
but no chicks yet. I will try and get some photos when I get the time.
All the best.

Hi All,
While atlassing with Ivy Austin on Sunday at White
Point (near Neil's Harbour) we observed two occupied GB Heron nests.
They were located on rock ledges on the cliff face of a grassy islet
that is the farthest point out on the peninsula. They shared the rock
with a number of GBB Gull and other seabird nests. Neither of us have
seen herons breed on this type of location before and I wanted to know
if was a common occurrence.
Also noted in the area were the return of Barn
Swallows to old nesting sites unoccupied for the last few years. I
wonder if the large number of swallows killed in the aftermath of
hurricane Wilma in 2005 might have had some impact in their absence for
the last number of years? All the best.
