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?
