It's a tough world out there. This momma little Green Heron played an egg and would sit on it and rotate it, taking good care of it. Daddy stood by to help and bring more sticks to the nest. A Anhinga found the nest and chased momma off it. Soon the Purple Gallinules came in for the action as well. Both were working toward eating the egg. Momma defended the best she could and daddy was involved as well. Soon reinforcements came in and 4 more little Green Herons arrived to help. Unfortunately a human decided to try to "help" and threw some water on the birds. The only birds it scared off was the little Green Herons, leaving the egg in the open and the nest undefended. The Purple Gallinule took advantage of the opportunity and ate the egg. Humans need to learn that we can not always "stop in and help" because we do not always know best. Maybe the Little Green Herons could have handled the threat and saved their nest and baby. We will not ever know the answer to that. Very sad.

Birds, Birds, and More Birds! The birds are active as this is mating season, so they are all wearing their finest feathers.

One of my favorite birds found in the Florida wetlands is the Purple Gallinule. They are found year around residents and I think they are one of the prettiest marsh birds.
