- Nature Note #5 - The sounds of summer - a cacophony of cicadas, frogs, or nesting Great Blue Herons?! Yes, listening for the odd sounds that herons make when they are gathered at the tops of trees in their rookeries to nest is how I have been lucky enough to find and observe these unique gatherings.
Have you found a heron nest before? A bird nest of any kind? Many species of birds have their own way of nesting. It can be a complex woven nest, a pile of sticks, a scrape on the ground, or a hole in a muddy river bank. Next time you find a nest take some time to observe and ask questions. You never know what you might discover.

Have you found a heron nest before? What species/how did you find it?
What a nice location to film! It was fun to see you get distracted by the osprey. You shared such good information! And I love the emphasis on respect for animals as you are trying to observe their natural behaviors!
PS - Nature is powerful, and so are you is the best catch phrase!
Thanks for the wonderful comment and for watching. Yes, I believe it’s important to think about how our actions and wildlife viewing affect animals as we can get carried away pretty easily by the amazing details of nature. Glad you like the catch phrase!
Nice tips Gabe! Heron nests are fun to observe and also good to use as practice for spotting smaller nests of other species, it’s good to look for the movement of the birds in the trees. Evan and I have found some great blue heron nests, as well as a couple full rookeries! Stumbling across an egret and heron rookery in New Jersey while wading in the Salt Marsh is one of my fondest birding memories!

That’s awesome! Yes, I agree, great for practice. Rookeries are pretty neat, I’ve never seen egrets in a rookery but I have seen GBH and wood storks!
Always happy to see a new vid from you. Wish you had time to post every week. :)
Thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah, I hope to get to weekly uploads eventually!
Great tips 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great info here. I’ve never seen a nest of theirs before.
Thanks for watching! If you are within range, I’m sure you can find one.
watching this video to know how to find great blue heron nest
great blue heron looks amazing with his unique appearance
cool bird. lik13, ne_#sub. new viewer here for this nice channel
Awesome! I see great blue herons all the time just never seen a nest, had one pick up my bait while fishing and fly with it lol made for a very interesting video thankfully it didnt get hooked
I’m sure you could find some nests if you looked….the amount of time you spend outside and around water…you can definitely find one. I believe they are mostly done nesting for the year so pay attention next year.
@@naturewithgabe definitely!
I stumbled accidentally upon some heron nests by the side of catubah river NC and I clicked this video so I can make sure it was a heron nest :)
Not as much water here in AZ for herons. I do run across one every once in a while, definitely a surprise when we do. Enjoyed the nature note. Good one.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I need to get out west for the herps and birds sometime. Can’t wait!
@@naturewithgabe Some legit birding out here from what I'm told. The herps, meh...
@@smetlogik 😂
Great video Gabe. I have never found a Heron nest but I did find a injured heron last year. I was able to take it to a local wildlife rehabilitation center and get it the help it needed.
That’s awesome! Was it a great blue heron or a different species? That’s great that you were able to help it out. Was it caught in fishing line? I feel like that is a common cause of injury for them.
@@naturewithgabe It was a Great Blue Heron. I don't really know what was wrong with it except it couldn't fly.
