Craig Crossing Park & Mill Creek Streamway, Lenexa, KS Spring 2020
Craig Crossing Park has historical significance locally, as the site dates back to the early days of railroads. The park itself comprises less than 17 acres and includes a small shallow pond which was created when a nearby stream channel was changed.
The park is situated along the Mill Creek Streamway and is one of 7 access points to the 17 mile long Gary Haller Trail, so it can be a busy place at times. The area is not only popular with people but with birds and wildlife too.
DISCLOSURE: Contains lots of Heron photos.

Great Blue Heron Eggshell _D856539
April 6: Our first visit to the Heronry was on this day and it was the only time we hiked through the very dense surrounding brush to the base of the host Sycamore tree. There were several broken eggshells on the ground directly below the Heronry. The shells were slightly larger than those of chicken eggs. We were not sure whether the shells were from new hatchlings or if they were from eggs that had somehow met an early demise.
