Observation details
The nesting colony of purple herons at this sight is well documented. The birds were of purple color resembling some of the big egrets. The adults had fine plumes on the chest and a black strike on the side of the neck. The fully fledged chicks all had prominent white gular patches which were all throbbing, may be due to the heat. The chicks were all buffs colored with white gular patches.
