For
nearly 15 years, Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets
have gathered every spring to nest in the tree tops
in the Elkhorn Slough's north marsh. This nesting
site, called the Rookery, is home to the largest breeding
colony of its kind in Monterey County. Sheltered within
the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve,
the Rookery is truly a magical place to visit.
