Sanger's Lane Heron Rookery

This location, on the north side of Sanger’s Lane next to Christian’s Creek, holds a large Great Blue Heron rookery of > 50 birds high in the sycamore trees (about 250 yards from the road). The rookery begins assembling in Feb-Mar each year. The rest of Sanger’s Lane is worth driving slowly while birding where one can find a variety of other birds such as Wild Turkey, sparrows, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and other woodpeckers.
