Beautiful shore birds love Wooster Square!
I'm sometimes asked, what does a
Blossom Blogger photograph
Blossom Blogger photograph
when our Sweet Sakura Square
is not in the process of Blooming.
Really?
Then you must new around here, welcome.
I am always photographing
Birds, Blossoms, Buildings
and whatever I bother.
New Haven Reflects
Mass Born, Detroit Bred, Nutmeg Seasoned
Having been virtually
stranded for 10 weeks
after Shoulder surgery, I am now
able to hold (painfully) my camera!
Good thing too!
If you have been following me on
twitter and the Wooster Square
Blossom Blog Facebook page,
you have seen the photos.
Which Ones?
The Yellow Crowned Night Herons!
Cute Couple Cuddles
Mom's grooming lesson.
Chicks First Flaps
Yes, these shorebirds have
become regular
Wooster Squarians.
Nestorations
(location not given. Migratory birds are
protected Federally. Nests are not to be disturbed.
If you are aware, do not park your car under the nest
for obvious reasons)
Mom and Dad constantly fix nest. It's grown from it's initial place for two.
Typical one bedroom one bath in
Wooster Square!
This was on April 16, pre eggs.
And how do I know?
Caution: For Mature audiences Only!
The Following shows Nature and Like the Things that they do, like bees and...
Not to worry. These YCN Herons don't
mind us regular folk. In fact, they love
to roost with others, so we may
have a whole kittin kaboodle
(not a technical term)
of them nesting here in coming years.
What the Feathered Freak! That
Blue Jay stole my leg!
So meanwhile, while I recovered from
surgery, they took turns incubating.
(that's a technical, not dirty term)
Look at the size of the nest now!
Looks like they put on an addition
for their new Quintuplets!
Swinging Chicks of Wooster Square!
YCN Herons have anywhere from
2-8 eggs and usually only have
one batch (not technical)
each year unless one fails.
Proud Park Papa
Yellow Crowned Night Herons are
related to the now extinct
Bermuda Heron.
They range from about 2-2.5 feet tall.
The eggs are ready to hatch about 25 days or so.
The chicks, at first resemble some
sort of exotic dinasour, will
fly the coop 36-42 days after hatching.
And Mom and Dad?
Yes, dear, more sticks dear.
Basically, a handshake and maybe we'll
do it again sometime.
A wing and a prayer
Yellow Crowned Night Heron's chose
a mate once a year!
And they get to live in
Wooster Square!*
*(I've been informed by management, my wife, that most birds mate for life, and glorifying playbird
behavior is not appropriate for younger readers).
One, two, three, four, five...
at least for now!
Let's look at the first shots I got of any of the baby chicklets.
Alien: Wooster Square
It is an Historic District....
Proud, shocked parents.
A face only a mother could love
Kids are great help
How's my crown Ma?
Growing up fast!
Mom
Dad
Dad Frazzled
He is a Master Stick Getter
(not technical)
I found where he was flying off too...
Shadow Dancer
Stick City!
The male and female take turns
watching the nest, while the other feeds.
Papa ponders
Where do they go?
Long Wharf!
YCN Herons feed mostly on Crustaceans.
And there's all sorts of crabs over on
Long Wharf, a short fly away.
Hey, soft shell crabs!
Never know what you'll see here,
just steps from I-95...
Baltimore's Finest

Does it have to be so messy?
As if that is not all!

We bumped into these guys riding
our bikes on Sunday morning!
