Heron Nests Survive Recent Wind Storm

November 24, 2015 By Debbie Jacobsen

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.
