During the Spring clean-up at Silver Springs Park, a representative from Audubon gave a presentation and said the Yellow-Crowned Night Heron migrated to the park every year for the Spring, Summer and Fall. They have been doing it for thousands of years!

Picture this morning of a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron fishing for minnows in the Jordan Valley Creek near the Silver Springs that runs year-round into the creek. 9-3-2026.

Don’t forget to show up!

Please join us tomorrow, May 23rd for a cleanup at Silver Spring Park.

This event will be part of Neat Neighborhoods - a contest in SGF to show community pride. We will pick up trash and debris in Silver Springs Park and Jordan Creek.
