As of mid-December, herons are slowly returning to the Ballard Locks, perched in their favorite deodar cedar tree. It is typically in February that they select a mate and a nest. They will rebuild existing nests, or start from scratch, often taking twigs from old nests. It’s an exciting time!
If you would like to get involved with HHH and learn more about herons, we’d love to hear from you! We have many opportunities such as habitat restoration, heron colony monitoring, assistance with our website, membership and fundraising. We’re happy to work within your schedule and with any amount of time you have to offer.
We’re a nice, friendly bunch. Contact us at info@heronhelpers.org to learn more!
Volunteer with Heron Habitat Helpers as we continue restoring forested habitat in Kiwanis Ravine. Come for the whole time, or an hour or two. This month we’ll weed out invasive plants to help native plants get established. Learn to identify native and alien species and get ideas for your own backyard wildlife gardening. Kiwanis ravine is home to numerous bird species, amphibians, mountain beavers, and other wildlife, and it’s an important green buffer for the great blue heron nesting colony at the Ballard Locks.
