Now is the ideal moment to observe the great blue heron in the park near the Ballard Locks in Seattle. The birds are actively preparing to nest, and while the trees have not yet filled out with dense foliage, they are easily visible from the ground. Experts recommend enjoying the sight before the herons lay eggs and hatch their young — after that the thick greenery will completely hide the nests from observers' view.
