Here are some scarey numbers...

Bird	Average Eggs	Breeding Cycle	Chicks	Adults	Total per Nest
Cattle Egret	4	2	4	2	8
Snowy Egret	4	2	4	2	8
Great Egret	4	2	4	2	8
Great Blue Heron	4	2	4	2	8
Little Blue Heron	4	2	4	2	8
Little Green Heron	4	2	4	2	8
Yellow Crowned Night Heron	4	2	4	2	8
Black Crowned Night Heron	4	2	4	2	8

Going off the norm that the birds have two breeding cycles this means there was an average of 8 birds per nest. Only 1/2 the eggs will hatch and the remainder will end up on the ground.

Tony said he has 50 nest per tree which is a total of 150 nest. This means he had 1,200 birds in his trees this year and 600 eggs in his yard. We did however have what are called "late comers" which would add another 600 birds and another 300 eggs.

So if the numbers work out right here is what Tony had in just his yard:

   150 Nest

1,800 Birds

   900 Eggs

What was the total of the neighborhood?
