Great Blue Heron Rookery 2011

This collage of life-and-death shows Great Blue Herons returning to their rookery at Churchill Woods Forest Preserve in DuPage County, Illinois.  I observed at least 8 herons on their nests.  The grim picture on the right features a dead heron hanging by its neck.  It may have succumed to recent powerful winds.
