One of our local parks less than an mile from our house is Twin Ponds. We have seen a great blue heron there, many ducks, and just recently, a small family of ducks. Walked by the north side of the park and noticed a mallard in the water, and a female on the short carefully nesting with her young ducklings. We could make out 4 babies under her wings, with their little beeks poking out.
The path around the ponds has an almost ancient feel to it, with lots of roots in the dirt, many trees, and tiny forrest glades among the shore path. Twin Ponds is where Thornton Creek starts, and goes all the way down in to Seattle, to Matthews Beach. What a treasure!
