I have only been to a few rookeries, and most have been roadside, so it should go without saying that your experience must have been quite memorable. Watching beautiful herons in their finery is an amazing ornithological experience, and in fact it is one worth dying over. Several game wardens in Florida lost their lives to poachers and feather hunters in the early 20th century to protect the birds so people like us could have moments like yours. This is something I guarantee that will stick with you for quite some time. Ryan,
