I stopped by the North Mississippi Regional Park to look for Great Horned Owls nesting in the Great Blue Heron rookery. I saw none, though I was there for 1 1/2 hours.
I did see 6 GBHE on 4 nests, and also saw mating behavior and one pair copulating. Here is a map link to the park. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=north+mississippi+regional+park&sll=44.966559,-93.295727&sspn=0.029756,0.053644&gl=us&layer=t&ie=UTF8&hq=north+mississippi+regional+park&hnear=&ll=45.072793,-93.290062&spn=0.112742,0.214577&z=12 The park is 8 miles downstream from the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, which also has a Heron rookery.
