Woodstock Pond
When
June 24, 2023. 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
A breeding colony of great blue herons is not a rookery, it is a heronry (we didn't make that word up). Experience the sights and sounds of these iconic birds as they build nests and tend to their young along a terrific view of Woodstock Pond and the York River. A friendly ranger will help point them out to you. Be sure to bring your own binoculars, cameras, or other viewing gear.
