As nesting season unfolds, Great Blue Herons select mates based on intricate courtship rituals. By early March, nests brim with eggs, signaling the next generation of herons in the making. Don't miss the rare photo of a heron swallowing a three-foot salamander—it's nature at its most fascinating!

In February, I immersed myself in the world of a Great Horned Owl family at Circle B Bar Reserve. These birds started their family journey as early as December. Welcoming a precious owlet in January, I became a privileged observer of their growth and familial bonds. As their story unfolds, my hope resonates for the continued thriving legacy of this remarkable owl family.
