March 9: Visit the Herons, 2pm, Commodore Park

Hot news! The herons are back! Rich spotted at least 30 nests being made on Feb. 17 in the Commodore Park rookery. It's a great time to check out the activity before tree leaves get in the way of viewing their nests. 

Hopefully, we'll witness courtship displays such as bill duels, neck stretching, feather fluffing and on-going nest building and remodeling. Bring your binoculars for a closer look. Click here for more information about the herons.

While there, we can also saunter over to the Locks to see what is going on.

WHERE: Commodore Park, 3330 W Commodore Way, across the Ship Canal from the Ballard Locks. There is adequate parking in the area. Van transportation will be provided, leaving GSC at 1:30pm.
