Glad they don't live at my house I'll say that. |
I don't think it would have gotten so bad if it weren't protected but it sure doesn't need any protection now. I doubt anyone gets close enough to even read the signs.
Heron nests are so cool! My dad had one near his house and took pictures of the momma and her new babies every year for me. It's amazing how those big ol' things weather the storms.
