I know there used to be a small heron rookery in the greenbelt on the east side of Pigeon Ridge, a little bit north of where the new Duwamish Longhouse is. A few years ago, an eagle came and built a nest in the middle of the rookery, and I figured that was that. But today I heard a report of twelve great blue herons hanging out on a dock on the north end of Harbor Island, and that made me wonder if maybe the rookery is back in business? Anyone aware of heron nesting activity in WS greenbelts? (I promise I’m not going to go poking around in the trees if there’s an active rookery nearby, they like their privacy…but as the username suggests, herons are an interest of mine. I’m curious!)
