[Tweeters] Lake Sam Herons

[Hans-Joachim Feddern via Tweeters]

Hi Larry,

Years ago there was a heronry at Dumas Bay Sanctuary in Federal Way. I
watched all adults in the air squawking while a Bald Eagle was raiding a
nest   with half grown young. This was in June and they were not high up,
but maybe an eagle may have caused yours to circle? Of course it may just
have been the weekly squadron exercise!
