Heather said...: Beth: Thank you, and yes we are. Unfortunately, though they have been nesting at the Arb for several years, they have been unsuccessful in raising their young. Apparently their nest is too accessible to predators. :(; Thursday, May 05, 2016 10:56:00 AM

Heather said...: Sue: She was difficult to see, as she is nesting amongst high reeds at a bit of a distance from the wetlands boardwalk -- the better to camouflage herself from predators. The male was patrolling the perimeter, behind some trees behind her.; Thursday, May 05, 2016 4:55:00 PM
Unknown said...: She's very well hidden. Good luck with the nesting!; Sunday, May 08, 2016 6:11:00 AM
Heather said...: Thanks, Gunilla -- it would be nice if they could successfully raise their chicks this year.; Monday, May 09, 2016 7:51:00 AM

Heather said...: Alice: That's the only reason I saw her -- I knew to look and patiently scanned the area until I caught a slight movement of her head. It was through watching her that I eventually spied movement along the treeline behind her and caught a brief glimpse of the male. He was too far away and behind the trees to photograph, at least with my measly camera.; Thursday, May 12, 2016 9:22:00 AM
