Canyon Park Road
Some maps still show the portion of Canyon Park Road that winds down into the canyon. Nevertheless, there’s no traffic, just a few deer and hikers.

Hepatica, Ducks and Woodpeckers
The woodpeckers were busy everywhere. I spotted a pair of Downy woodpeckers, what I think was a Red Bellied Woodpecker, and a Flicker. We also saw where a Pileated Woodpecker had been at work, but never got a glimpse of the shy bird.
The hepaticas are the second wildflower we see; clusters of white and purple flowers everywhere, catching every breeze. They bloom before their leaves emerge.
We saw 6 mallard ducks at the pond. If I’m very quiet, I can watch them from the top of the bluff, as they swim and chatter amongst themselves. The slightest noise will send them flying off.
