Hello,

Like Lance, I have yet to read of Great-blue Herons having a second
breeding season. However, five species of neotrpical migrants have been
reported as having a second breeding season on their way south and two old
world species have been reported as having a second breeding season on
their way north. A re-evaluation of the neotropical double breeders
suggests that  2 of the 5 species are likely to have a second breeding
season, two are unlikely, while the fifth species is "less likely" to have
 second breeding season.

Do a search using the term "migratory double breeding".

Cheers.

Ron
