Birds here are not very shy because they’re used people at this picnic area. You will find many carbet (gazebos) to protect you in case of rain, which happens often… and is why the trees are so tall!

This is a very peaceful place (almost) free of people if you arrive early (before 8:00 AM). We recommend walking along this forest road up to D23 to improve your chance to see all the target species!

Look on the ground for the Forest Thrush, in the trees for the Thrashers and in the sky for the Swifts!

"Will our appreciation of beauty be seen now for what it is, a gift, the enjoyment of which should not be confined to an annual holiday? Will it become again what it once was: a part of our everyday lives, the wisdom of the past offered to us." ~C.R.Milne #summerholidays pic.twitter.com/kFWq…
