Since then I have seen both of them several times this spring...The nest is in a large oak tree in a neighbor's backyard. Update on the herons: There were three in the tree today (4/14). I cannot differentiate gender but there was some activity that suggested courting behavior so we surmise that there may be two males and a female. Another possibility is that one of the three is a returning chick.
