    Beautiful video. I used to live near a heron nesting ground on the Tennessee River. The real call of the Great Blue Heron is a very loud "GROCK" as it flies overhead or is startled at night by a predator ie something. Yes, it sounds like a pterodactyl, but while hunting they are usually silent, like all good fisherman, so they don't scare away the fish.

    • @quote_nature
      @quote_nature  3 роки тому +3

      Thank you for your great comments. Yes, unfortunately this heron was quietly calling, the city noise didn't help... You're right - they are quiet when hunting which is how we usually see them. Very exciting to live near their nesting ground. Must have been interesting to watch them. Best wishes for your day, Cathy

      Thank you! I have been trying to visit the park at least once a week. Good areas to visit are the Ramble and the bodies of water. Since dogs are a threat to birds would be best to leave them at home when you're out birding. Look for those with binoculars. Most birders are happy to share what they have seen and where!
