Ever wonder where Great Blue Herons nest?

🪺 👀 Way up there! Great Blues usually nest high in the tree canopy, often in colonies with other herons and wading birds. In Georgia, these colonies can range from just a few nests to several hundred, often tucked away in wetlands or on islands in lakes, ponds, and rivers. The male collects sticks — sometimes even stealing them from other heron nests — and passes them to the female, who does the building. 🪶 Great Blues are a familiar sight along the South River — and just one of the wild neighbors we’re celebrating at Wild Fling: A Tribute to South River Wildlife! Join us Thursday, October 8 for a private evening at @patagoniaatl on the BeltLine with live music by @boloboysband, supper, drinks, raffle prizes and a wild bunch of river lovers — all benefiting SRWA’s work to protect and restore the South River. 🎟️ Get your tickets: southriverga.org/events/wildfling Thursday, October 8 • 7:30–9:30 PM #WildFling #SouthRiver #SouthRiverGA #GreatBlueHeron #GeorgiaWildlife #AtlantaWildlife #UrbanWildlife #GeorgiaRivers @arabiamountain_nha
