Old Woman Creek


9/26/2005 -- Huron Ohio

Finding Old Woman Creek NERR was pretty easy. It's not far from the hotel. The 1 mile loop trail and estuary overlook was a nice change from sitting. There are some neat old oaks, black walnut and hickory as well as prolific hawthorns.

We saw chickadees, blue jays, great blue herons, and great egrets too. The photo shows a large stand of water lotus in the middle left and the exotic phragmites or common reed in the background.

Clint tried to take a piture of an egret through the binoculars on the observation deck. They didn't work too well as a telephoto lens.
