This year promises to be quite a show for Redbud Audubon’s Heron Days pontoon boat tours. Herons, egrets and cormorants are nesting now, and their numbers are amazing. Boats will depart on April 29 and 30 at Lakeside County Park. On May 6 and 7 they depart from Shady Acres Campground. For more information, and to register, go to www.redbudaudubon.org. A number of tours are already closed. – Brad Barnwell
