This is one of the most exciting times of the year at Batiquitos Lagoon. It is mating time for the
Great Egrets. There is a small rookery in some tall Eucalyptus trees and this year there are about
10 active nests. Unfortunately for the photographer, it is a real challenge to photograph the rookery
through the trees and it is really impossible to get totally clear shots.

Just thought I'd update this post with some pics of the Great Egret chicks in the nests I started this post off
with. One nest had 3 chicks and the other had 4. It's been a pretty productive year for the Egret rookery this year.
