June 13 - Botzum to Beaver Marsh

Great Blue Heron
Starting Weather: Partly Cloudy, 81°
Ending Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 73°
Northern Flicker
Distance Covered: 2.2 miles
Time: 5:20 PM - 8:00 PM
After spending some time at Big Bend, we drove to the Beaver Marsh.  As we neared the board- walk, passersby were calling to us to hurry because there was a big heron or crane on the boardwalk.  The heron was no longer on the boardwalk when we arrived at the marsh, but one did fly into a tree soon thereafter.   We also saw some flickers tending to their nest in a crevice in a sycamore tree.  It's exciting to watch this area throughout the seasons and to see how the plant and animal life change.
