Hi Everyone;

Bob McDonald and I had great looks at the Green Heron
today.  We also saw a Solitary Sandpiper just a few
feet further along.

Directions:

Take Eisener Drive off Portland Street (the beginning
of Route #207), Drive past Norm Newman Drive on your
right and the Super Store, NSLC and Nubody's on your
left.  Across from Nubody's is a path and a wooden
staircase accessing the trail, but it's easy to miss. 
If you drive a little further, past Nubody's, Empire
Cinemas and the first Apartment building, you'll see a
much more obvious access to the trail.

If you follow this trail back towards the Super Store,
you'll come to a long wooden bridge on your left. 
Don't take that (unless you enjoy a nice leisurely
walk).  Go straight towards the aforementioned wooden
staircase, then follow the trail left.  A couple of
hundred meters along this path you'll see a pond on
your left, surrounded by woods.  There's a pile of
rocks that serve as a bridge across a drainage ditch
that will allow you access to the pond.

Scan the far shore carefully.  Although it's a fairly
large bird, the GREEN HERON blends right in with the
mud.

Cheers;
Suzanne

P.S.  If you cross the long wooden bridge, keep
following the trail around to the top (N) of the lake
where a smaller body of water can be seen up ahead. 
Turn right at this point and follow the trail back
towards the Super Store.  You'll come to the pond with
the GREEN HERON on your right after about 50 meters.
