Wurdemann's Heron together with its Great Blue Heron mate. The Great Blue is being relieved by the Wurdemann's and prepares to fly off. The nest has two chicks still too small to show much over the edge of their nest.....a little fluffy head can be seen. The great herons are amazingly diligient and equitable as nest tending partners.
