#HeronTalk: We have our first eggs of the breeding season, just in time for Easter!

Herons start incubating eggs just days or weeks after they return to the colony, and continue with some eggs appearing as late as May or June. Heron cam: https://t.co/TRYVzC037r @vanparkboard pic.twitter.com/IJ41tbw0mZ

Heron nests are reused each year, but some may be dismantled for parts. In this clip, you’ll find a scavenging male presenting his spoils to his mate, who will then weave this stick in… or throw it to the ground, if it’s not good enough.#HeronTalk #StanleyPark @ParkBoard pic.twitter.com/pg4fkwo6j6

#Gosling season has begun! 🐣

These cuties will spend much of their early life under the supervision of adult geese. While their parents often take on this duty, sometimes they will form "gang broods" of goslings watched by one or two adults - the daycare of the animal world pic.twitter.com/taoKJghwYk

If you're walking at #LostLagoon, keep an eye out for swallow nest boxes dotted along the water. These will become homes for returning #TreeSwallows and Violet-green swallows in the next few weeks. According to eBird, there have already been Tree swallows observed in the area! pic.twitter.com/BCdBml3un5
