1. How high was it?

Edited on Wed Apr-14-10 09:39 PM by Celebration

usually they are down low, but once I saw a heron up about thirty feet or so, in a pine tree. I think I have a picture too. If I find it I'll post it here. They fly pretty high though, many times. No reason for them not to light up that high occasionally.

Okay,

Hope you don't mind my adding a heron up high too. Honestly though, I don't usually see them that high either......maybe on one other occasion.

2. I believe that they mate and/or nest in trees for breeding - or at least it's an

option for them. I have a few photos with large quantities of them in trees.

4. Sixty feet?

I've seen them flying that high but the high ones in the trees that I have seen at the most are about forty feet.

Herons sure do know how to disappear when there a are a lot of folks around!
