Here in northern California, they start nest building around January-February. It can get quite cold here for short spells.
Bradford Martin
Most of the interesting behavior and mating takes place during nest building . Once the eggs are laid, the feather displays and blue flesh color are gone and the male makes infrequent visits to the nest.. In Florida nesting is mainly in the winter.
Bradford Martin
Susan, Yes the babies hang around for a long time and get big but plumage is a little different. Not far from my house but not easy to catch these interactions. This palm is in a pond so you are limited in how close you can be and the angle of viewing.
Susan Wiedmann
Wow, then she is really petite compared to him! I've seen baby great blue herons her size (compared to his) still in the nest. Did you go back after the babies were born?
Bradford Martin
They were building the nest. It was courtship behavior
Susan Wiedmann
I think the mother is feeing her baby - the babies grow very rapidly and yet still remain in the nest. Great image!
