Description
Herons and Egrets nest together in colonies in one or two sycamore trees on river right, but set back 100 yards. The white egrets are easiest to see, but also look for the large clumps of sticks which are the nests.
This rookery is on Rank Island, now protected by the San Joaquin Conservancy. Just before the river picks up speed and flows around a concrete pipe, look at the tall sycamore trees off river to the right. You will see the most activity in spring and early summer.
