Did you know that from Maddax Woods you can view one of the largest Great Blue Heron nesting areas in the Portland Metro area? Come join us (weather permitting) as we learn all about Great Blue Herons. Try on life-size heron wings, learn what a heron footprint looks like, compare your height to that of a heron at two weeks old to a full-grown adult. Bring your binoculars and we'll provide the scopes. Let's explore together these fascinating prehistoric looking birds.
