Blue Heron Heronry
The Great Blue heron are a common site around Maple ridge & Pitt Meadows. These prehistoric looking birds nest communally in large deciduous trees. Nesting herons are easily disturbed by visitors getting to close to their nest site and can result in nest abandonment even when young are still in nest. Heron activity begins in March when adults begin claiming nests. They are most visible before the leaves are on the trees. Once the young are born, adult herons can be observed all day long entering and leaving the colony. Viewing will usually continue to late July. From Lougheed Hwy in Pitt Meadows go North on Harris Road, East on Dewdney Trunk Rd, turn right on 210th street, left into parking lot. Enter Alouette Dyke and look across the Alouette river and see the heronry which is on private property.
