Who knew this story would have such legs?! As reported last month, the great blue heron rookery at North Mississippi Regional Park was completely obliterated by a tornado that went through north Minneapolis. I worked with some of my fellow National Park Rangers at MNRRA, the MN DNR and the Animal Humane Society to [...] Hey, here’s a great video from the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of some of the young great blue herons that were retrieved from the tornado damaged rookery at North Mississippi Regional Park. They appear to be doing very well! In other news, I have had multiple reports of herons rebuilding on 2 different areas on the [...] 
Here’s a follow up to yesterday’s story about the Minneapolis tornado that destroyed the great blue heron rookery at North Mississippi Regional Park.

Here’s [...] Hey, mom, here’s a link to that heron rookery segment that you can listen to online. 
Providing that there is no major news breaking, the segment I recorded with Stephanie Hemphill about the North Mississippi Regional Park should air today between 5am – 9am on Morning Edition. (Mom, they said an online version will be available at some point too). I’ll probably be roving out at that park in full [...]
