Tonight we walked around the lake which has now become mostly ice free and observed a wonderful green heron just before the boardwalk area. Also noted were the many cliff swallows working hard on nest building on the back of the buildings along the 394 side. Then we were rewarded with the palm warbler, actually a pair along the boardwalk as we were leaving. A very nice evening at the nature area. The Great Horned owl was very visible also right off the trail as you enter into the park. The mate was probably still in the nest with the young. The nest is off the steps near the visitor center. Last time we were here we spent so much time looking at the owls we had no time to circle the lake! Sue Bergman & Barb McGregor
