then made our way to the Southeast Observation Area. Watched as one Great Blue 
Heron caught, killed, and ate a catfish. The Merlin was also lucky in catching 
and eating its prey. There were turtles out sunning on logs in the lake and 
Spring Peepers peeping. Also, the two River Otter were cajorting in the nice 
weather.
