As of May 25th, there were still 2 at Lower Huron MetroPark:
Bobwhite Nature Trail and Jabberwocky. Mirkwood's website mentioned
that Fox in Box was missing; I think a nearby tree was being cut
down. Jabberwocky eluded us briefly, but we soon found our mistake.
And Bobwhite Nature Trail was in full wildflower bloom, with
mayapples and trillium. 2 great locations for boxes.

Also, as of that date, the Crosswinds Marsh and Bald Eagle boxes were
still at Crosswinds Marsh. A very neat place to visit, if you've
never been! Lots of boardwalks and trails to explore, and there were
2 bald eagles nesting in the trees in the middle of the marsh. Both
boxes were in place, though they had gotten a bit damp recently.

If you need a copy of any of those 4 clues, you can e-mail me off-
list.

Thanks Tom & Springchick,

That's wierd, her site must have been down or something. I tried
Sunday and Monday and just kept getting "bad gateway" messages, when
I clicked on the box names. But now the link works.

Thanks for your help,
Windrose
