Heron Watch 2006
Another exciting Heron Watch season ended with our final program at Stow Lake on May 20th.
The 2006 season surpassed any other year in our 13 year study. Six nests on Heron Island accounted for a record 16 chicks. The first four nests produced Ten chicks-- and two late nests produced three chicks each. 2005 resulted in four nests and ten fledglings. A grand total of 97 birds have fledged on Heron Island since 1993!
