Heron chicks in Stanley Park

It's quite hard to see the nests now with all the leaves on the trees but you can certainly hear the chicks. A couple of weeks ago we saw two chicks really going after each other. Seems it is survival of the fittest as they fight over food and everything else. In July they take their beginning flights. They start by hanging on to a branch and flapping like crazy. Will be fun to see!
