Welcome the Herons

Great blue herons start returning to their rookery on the Mississippi River toward the end of March. Bring your binoculars and join the National Park Service, Mississippi Park Connection and volunteers at Marshall Terrace Park, 2740 Marshall St. NE, Saturday, March 30, 11 am-1 pm. Watch the herons rebuild their nests and flirt with each other as they return to our region. The walking path, from which the rookery is visible, is fully accessible, but the trail down to the river bank is not. Dress for the weather and prepare for mud and/or ice.
