Lake Redman – Great Egrets are popular around the Lake Redman area. They can be found wading in the shallow waters, flying across the lake and even, flying from tree to tree. “On August 8th 2013” one of these creatures required a rescue effort.

NCR Trail – Sycamore Trees are popular along the trail.

There is […]
