A clutch of 3 Great Blue Heron chicks have been a study in environmental adaptation and survival as they have hatched and grown since February, living in a Australian Pine tree non-native to Florida but pervasive along the sea shore.
A determined state and county program is removing the trees even as the Great Blue Heron succeeds in nesting in them, and indeed prefers them to the surrounding lower mangroves where they are more likely disturbed by people and threatened by racoons.
