Wakodahatchee/Green Cay Update

Wakodahatchee is still pretty quiet, there are two pairs of Great Blue Herons that have built nests on the the island next to the first gazebo, one is on the west side of the island in the low trees, the other is high in the dead tree on the east side of the island. I believe both nests have settled down for the 28 day incubation period, so chicks something to look forward to in about 4 weeks. Both nests are very accessible for photography with medium telephoto lenses, 300mm on a 1.5-1.6 crop body.

Green Cay has gotten a little more interisting, there is a male Northern Harrier that is active there, I’ve seem him both times I’ve been there durring the mid to late morning. There is also confirmed reports of a female Bobcat and kittens; though to hope to catch a glimps of it, you apparently have to get there very early before people are out and about. Also I’ve been told of Snail Kites hunting in the area, though I haven’t seen any so I can’t confirm those.
