I was doing more birding is southern Alexander County this evening. I went
to Dusty Ridge boat access on Lake Hickory to check out the new park the
county is building. It is mostly ball fields, but they are constructing a
trail through the woods near the lake so I decided to check it out. Not
long after going down the trail I could hear herons calling. After a little
searching I found 3 nest. There may be more, but I didn't want to disturb
them to much. I did watch 2 adults feed two chicks that appeared to be
about half grown. I hope the new park doesn't scare them off. I guess we
will see.
