One of the features of the revitalized Forest Park is the renewal of the park-wide stream system. The waterways are now linked in a series of lakes, streams, waterfalls, and marshes that allows the water to circulate and oxygenate. The oxygenated water provides better habitat for all manner of wildlife. On just a short walk we came across herons, red-tailed hawks, finches, kingfishers, and several species of wood warblers.
The goldfinches hop from chicory to chicory along the foot paths
Little green herons inhabit the marshy areas of the Grand Basin
The city's name-sake strikes a pose above the Grand Basin
On top of the Art museum are these gilded eagles.
