: Hello,
: Haven't been able to do much birding but yesterday I was at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach and saw a Great Blue Heron in a large nest (that looked exactly like an Osprey nest)sitting on top of platform pole. Is it common for a Great Blue to take over an osprey nest or could it be the Herons nests? The whole situation really confused me and my mom really got a kick out of the perplexed look on my face when I saw a Great Blue rising out of what I thought was an osprey nest! hehe!
: In any case....answers to this would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Great Blue Herons like to perch on high objects. I've got one that likes to perch on top of my martin house and look out over the lake.
