Last week I attended a great evening nature walk at Buckhorn Island State Park on Grand Island.  Buckhorn is a nature preserve maintaining the marshlands that originally bordered the Niagara River.  We were able to check out various marsh and swamp areas.  Most of the birds were quiet that evening but we did get to hear the spring peepers and see a lot of interesting woodland plants.

If you are there at dusk, be sure to check out the trail along the river on the east side of the north Grand Island bridge.  There is a fantastic view of the sunset behind the bridge.  Dopey me didnt’ bring my camera :(, be sure to bring yours.

We finished up the evening by returning from swamp using candlelight lanterns which looked really cool as we all carried them along the trail. Thanx to our walk leader, Dave, for providing them.

Thank you to Dave for use of his picture
