April 2 and April 30 Spring Viewing Events

By

HeronWatch2016This spring we will hosting 2 viewing events! We will have telescopes setup and our HHH naturalists on hand. The events are free and everybody is welcome so please help us spread the news!

April 2, 2016
Observe the herons as they do some nest building – the male herons bring the twigs, and if acceptable, the female places it in the nest. Watch them incubate eggs and protect the colony, or stand in the water with their steely gaze ready to spear a fish.

April 30, 2016
We will hopefully be able to see some heron chicks. Bonus is, we will be celebrating the chicks hatching with birthday cake!

Join us for one or both events at Commodore Park near the Ballard Locks Fish Ladder on the Magnolia side. Drop by anytime between 1:00 and 3:00 pm!

Plus, we have some great events coming up in 2016, and membership entitles you to free and/or discounted entrance.

Heron Habitat Helpers annual memberships make a great gift. We’ll let the recipient know you care by mailing them a beautiful thank you card.

HHH is a 100% volunteer organization working to make a difference – not only for herons, but for the natural habitat that is their home – and yours.

Heron Nests Survive Recent Wind Storm

By

On November 18, 2015, a major wind and rain storm slammed into much of Washington state, including Commodore Park in Seattle.  No herons were home in the 65-nest heron colony housed high in Commodore Park alder trees because herons nest there from February through late July.  Incredibly, all of the heron nests survived the storm.  If we could congratulate the herons on their nest-building skills, we would.
