It&#8217;s a 2 hour ride, but it turned out well. I think once a year would be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Wildwood lake wasn&#8217;t as prolific as it&#8217;s been in the past, but we found many chipmunks, an animal that has eluded me until now. A Baltimore Oriole was cooperative, but we didn&#8217;t find much else,<\/p>\n<p>Kiwanis Lake was much better, with nesting egrets and herons, as well a lake full of Canada Geese and Mallards. I haven&#8217;t seen many rookeries, so it was a treat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39327\" style=\"width: 1018px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
