The Stanton Bird Club walk this morning (Saturday, 5/31) at Beaver Park
in
Lisbon was most fortunate with the rain ... it stopped! The rain
ended before
our walk and did not start again until we left. Verla
Brooks, the park ranger,
accompanied us and explained the history and
activities at the park. For those
who have yet to visit this park, you
are missing a great deal. It is mostly
wooded but with three ponds, a
few fields, and wonderfully kept trails, plus
a dirt road which loops
for over a mile.
