Drone view of mother heron guarding her nest high

Passing over the tree tops in central Florida, a DJI Mavic Air drone spotted a view rarely seen by ornithologists and bird watchers alike - an occupied Great Blue Heron nest. Great blue herons nest in the tree tops making it difficult for bird watchers to get a great view of their nesting habits as well as the maternal instincts of the females. Here we can see a female who has arrived at a nest and will soon be laying her eggs.
