MUD, MUD, MUD
5.3 Mile Run at Black Creek Park
Monday, March 19, 2012

Short run at Black Creek, due to a late start and needing to pick Ann up at work. Lots of mud - no surprise there, at times Black Creek is muddy in the middle of the summer. At least splashing through the mud and water was a lot warmer today than it was back in December...

One of my reasons for choosing Black Creek (besides the fact that it's a very short drive) was the heron rookery that's visible from the trail through the hardwood swamp. Ann and I have seen a few herons so we've been wondering if they're back in numbers yet. Today I saw lots of nests - but no herons. So I guess the ones we've been seeing either braved the winter chill or migrated early.
