Great blue herons return to their rookery on the Mississippi River toward the end of March. Join Ranger Will at Marshall Terrace Park, 2740 Marshall St. NE, Saturday, March 18, 11 am-1 pm. Watch the herons rebuild nests and do a little flirting. You may see the resident peregrine falcons fly over, as well as migrating ducks such buffleheads and goldeneye. Ranger Will will have a spotting scope to aid viewing the birds. Prepare for mud and ice. Free, but registration is required to help with crowd control. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/welcome-back-the-herons-tickets
