Buckeye Trail



A very pleasant morning on the Buckeye Trail in east Raleigh ended around 
11:00 am with a visit to the impoundment on Raleigh Blvd.  One of the three 
Great Blue Heron nests which were active last year was occupied by a GBH and 
another was feeding in the shallows.  Also feeding in the shallows were two 
Great Egrets.  Two immature Double-crested Cormorants were taking the sun and 
a pair of Fish Crows were croaking in the willows.  Quite a different scene 
from what would have been expected not so many years ago.
