A little hidden gem along the state park road. There's a tiny turnout/parking lot that fits a handful of cars. Very cool to see the hundreds of nesting birds of all types in the trees. Yes, sections of the short trail are covered in bird droppings, so be careful when looking up to see the birds above you. You can follow the trail in either direction from this turnout, or walk to the Rookery from the Museum of Natural History. Magical!

We are at the reserve early in July. There are still so many nests. I'm not sure if they are nesting all year round. The juveniles (great blue heron, cormorant, night-capped heron, great egret, turkey vulture) are as big as their parents. Yet, they still call out to their parents for food. It's fenced to prevent people from walking into the nesting area. A local lady told us that it's topically foggy during this time of the year.

Cool Cozy Place. Lots of birds
