Stanley Park Ecology Society News

Happy Spring everyone! We are very excited here at SPES for a number of reasons, the first of which is that we have a working blog and have decided to start using it! It also means that we have just under a month left before our “Playing for the Park” benefit event on April 22, 2007. Everyone is super excited about seeing “Bobs and Lolo” play and we hope you will join us for some fantastic family fun!
Speaking of family fun, the numbers are steadily increasing at the Stanley Park Great Blue Heron colony this spring. Last weekend’s count identified approximately 92 adults already on site with over half of the nests still empty and we are expecting many more herons arriving in the near future. Some of the early nesters have already produced the pale blue eggs that should be hatching in mid to late April.
