Coming home to roost

The herons have returned to Beacon Hill Park to build their nests.  Yesterday I counted eleven in a single tree near Goodacre Lake.  Goodacre Lake is a favourite stopping place on our way to the grocery store.  No bald eagles, thank heaven!  A few years ago the eagles ate all the chicks and chased the herons out of the park for a couple of years.  The park built an osprey platform nearby to keep the eagles away.  Seems to be working.  Here's a Where's Waldo? picture.  Can you find the herons?
