Hi Folks -
If anyone is still looking for the Green Heron, they were
still there as of 8:00 on Friday evening.
We located them in two different places. The first was
where they were initially reported by Jack Holley. Turn north on 1100 West
from 3300 South and drive to the Oxbow Trail Head parking lot (which can only
accommodate about six cars). Go west on the walking
path until you reach the area where the river takes a sharp bend to the
south. One bird was seen last evening perched in the dead trees on the
west side of the river there and we saw two on a flyover tonight.
The second place we saw the birds was the canal which runs
between the Jordan River and Decker Lake as previously reported by Tim
Avery. You can get to this canal by crossing the river just north of the
Oxbow Trail Head (see above) and following the path to the north; however, this
is a long walk. If you want to park within a few minutes walk of the
canal, follow these directions:
Travel north on Redwood Road and turn east on Crystal Avenue
(2590 South). Proceed to Chesterfield Street (1160 West) and turn
south. Park where the street dead ends and you will be within
spitting distance of the canal. Walk west along the canal and look for the
birds. We flushed two from an area very dense with Russian olive
trees.
Good luck and if you need any further information, let me
know.
Pomera
