My thoughts too, Floyd. I read that from 3-10 travel together when migrating.
Perhaps, cold spell brought this about. Hoping for feedback. Thank you!

I do think this is unusual.
We see Great Blue Herons frequently, always solitary. I have not seen 2 in
the same place.
A couple of them do have to get together during breeding season, whenever
that may be.
A gathering of 7 must have some other explanation.

I just happened to be parked at the playa off 4th and Raleigh at noon today,
when 7 Great Blue Herons dropped in for what looked like a rest. I’m
unaccustomed to seeing many of them together like that. Pretty cool sight.
