Duck, Duck, Goose, Goose, ?,?
THIS BOX IS MISSING. I WILL GET THERE AS SOON AS I CAN TO REPLACE IT
While walking in Central Park recently I saw a new addition to the flocks of geese and ducks that inhabit the lake area. There are many of these special birds in the College Station area but this is the first one I’ve seen in Central Park so I’ve placed one here so everyone can see him. Hope you like it.
The Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, common all over North and Central America as well as the West Indies and the Galápagos, except in deserts and high mountains where there is no water for it to wade in.
It feeds in shallow water or at the water's edge and spears fish or frogs with its long, sharp bill. Its varied diet can also include insects, snakes, turtles, rodents and small birds. It will also raid goldfish ponds in back yards.
The Great Blue stands 132 cm (four feet) tall, has a 213 cm (seven-foot) wingspan and weighs 2.5 kg. It has a long yellow bill. Adults have blue-grey wings and back and a white head with a black cap and a long black plume. In flight, the long neck is held in an S-shape with the long legs trailing behind. This bird flies with strong deliberate wing beats.
To find the letterbox come to Central Park in College Station. From Navasota take Hwy 6 to College Station. Get off at the Southwest Pkwy exit and go left. Turn left again onto the frontage road heading South. About 1/2 mile down, turn right into Central Park. Park in the lot across from the lake. You will see a small gazebo and the Wayne Bryan Bike Loop sign.
Follow the path and just before the 4th lampost you will see a concrete manhole sewer cover. Between here and the lamppost there is a grassy trail heading east back towards the fence. From the yellow line take 10 steps east down this trail and you will see a shrubby tree on the right. My Heron is hiding behind the tree under some sticks and bark You might want to move down the fence line a little where you will be screened from the path when you stamp in.
After stamping discreetly and rehiding well, please continue on the path to find Silver Eagle’s Gig 'Em box which is nearby.
