A little cove circled with mangroves and water plants looks like the perfect quiet water to find some resting bass. We head in.  A Great Blue sits frozen on the beginning of a nest just 15 feet above the water.  As we float under him he rises on those huge wings, makes a circle then returns to a perch still well within sight.  The second Heron glides in and perches near.  They watch nervously and intently.  We decide to give them their spaces since we assume we are the source of their anxiety.  Just as we leave the cove a third then forth heron appear.  There is squawking and bill snapping and lots of posturing.  The real battle it seems is for nesting site rights between the two pair.  Nature is amazing
