20 February 2022 Mill Creek Park

Mill Creek Park has some great landmark buildings still remaining, very nice trails, and an old mill with attractive falls. With sunshine despite colder weather we bundled ourselves and the dogs and were off to the park. The caching was good. Other than some very icy trail areas alongside Mill Creek, the trails were in perfect shape for some long walking.

Persistence paid off as we kept a close eye on water as we passed it hoping to see ducks. Our first sighting was exciting, but there was nowhere to stop. Eventually we had some parfect opportunities to enjoy bufflehead and mergansers as they floated by. They were hunting for food so we enjoyed a few passes as they floated by then flew back to repeat their search.
