The first week of October 2023, I visited the wetlands in the area. We had a short heat wave that week.

There were construction at the drainage storm water pond at Wonderland Rd S. They are draining the water to clean the pond and do some drainage work. Half the pond was drained and was excellent for shorebirds dropping by on the mudflats. Lots of Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Killdeers, a Green Heron, and two Great Egrets.
