Kai- It is definitely active. There are still lots of pines there. However, I'm not sure how many pairs are there currently - when I took my Ornithology class at the usual time of year we saw a few herons, some students found eggshells, but didn't have nearly as much vocal activity as usual, or coming and going. It's not clear to me if the herons arrived early and had already settled in, or if they were late, or if there were many less than usual. I haven't had a chance to check since.
