There is pleasure in the pathless woods
- Lord Byron, Romantic Poet and Satirist (1788-1824)
Near Horicon Marsh in South Central Wisconsin,
I learned of some secluded woods where Great Blue Herons nest.
For a few hours one day in the spring, before the trees leafed out, I walked through the woods in amazement.
High above, in the tops of the trees, were a few dozen Great Blue Herons and their nests.
It was eerie and quiet, except for their calls to each other, or their wings flapping, or as small branches broke.
It was amazing, awesome, peaceful, and a day I might never forget.
