To the surprise of many residents, several herons have been seen sitting high atop the spruce trees that line the shores of several waterfront properties. Herons are more commonly observed looming in the shadows of the spruce trees, wading in the shallow bays or near creek outlets. While herons often appear awkward in flight, they provide quite a show, flapping their wings to keep their balance, when they land on small branches which barely hold their massive weight. Boaters on the lake have a wonderful vantage point to observe the abundant waterfowl and other birds and critters attracted to the water.
