Stacy and Anne will take us into the March Point heronry, giving us a behind the scenes look at life for a Blue Heron throughout the 2025 breeding and nesting season, sharing expected and unexpected behaviors, with an intimate focus on three of the nests experiencing success and failure, as the adults work to rear young to fledging.
