Wildlife A Pair Of Great Blue Herons Building A Nest
A male Great Blue Heron brings a stick to its mate to build a nest in Delray Beach, Florida, on January 9, 2026. Great blue herons typically mate for life, with males selecting the nest site and gathering most materials while females arrange them. They often start courtship displays in late fall or winter in southern Florida. (Photo by Ronen Tivony/NurPhoto)
