[mou] Great Blue Heron Rookery

[Marklarose@aol.com]

    With the recent reports of nest abandonment by herons north of the twin 
cities, is there anyone who monitors the locations of known rookeries? I 
thought I remember reading in the Star Tribune or some such source that there 
were very few known rookeries near the twin cities. I have lived in Carver 
county on Lake Waconia for the past four years and there is a VERY active 
rookery nearby of great blues with occasional great egrets. Last year there 
appeared to be several dc cormorants nesting as well, maybe not a good 
development. Does anyone affiliated with MOU need this info? The herons 
standing in the tops of the trees at dusk reminded me of the concerns at 
other sites.

Thanks for any info,

Mark LaRose
