On Monday morning the Memorial Day Ceremony was held with the sun streaming down. This ceremony was very respectful and emotional. The Keynote Speaker, Mr. Melvin Olsen a Korean War Veteran spoke of the trial and difficult times serving in Korea in the early 1950’s. The Guest Speaker, Kangho Park, Consul General, Republic of Korea, also spoke eloquently being very grateful to the veterans from his home land. Today we must thank our veterans from the past and present.

Clark Pond/ Reddish Egret

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Walking through the Coolidge Reservation the other day came across a beautiful Reddish Egret.  According to Wikipedia a Reddish Egret is a small heron.  It is a resident breeder in Central America, Bahamas, Caribbean, the Gulf coast of the United States and Mexico.  There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range.  In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.  According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of Reddish Egrets in the U.S. and most of these are in Texas.  This beautiful bird is classified as “threatened” and receive special protection.
