 Hi, welcome to City Talk. This is Karen Kustafik with the City of Columbia's Park Rangers encouraging you to join us at the north end of Riverfront Park every Tuesday in April. Every Tuesday in April for our spring fever walks at six o'clock. We want you to come meet us at the Diversion Dam atop the Columbia Canal headgates, and we're going to do about a mile loop through the floodplain forest. There is something different every week during spring, so the seasonal pallet kind of unfolds. We've had red buds bloom and butterweed is emerging. There is, there are may apples on the forest floor, and every week something new pops up. The cross vine has bloomed and is starting to go away, and we're looking for the seasonal pallet to just kind of give us something a little bit different every week. Spider wart emerges, and as the water's warm, we'll start to see the fish migrate, and when the fish migrate all the birds follow them, so you'll see great blue herons, egrets, seagulls, osprey, herons are building nests, and there's always a new surprise happening. Time spent outdoors is really a restoration for your soul. So even if you're waffling about coming out, you will be glad that you did. Within 15 to 20 minutes of spending time outside, there are really positive physical effects. Your blood pressure goes down, your cognition goes up. This is the perfect prescription for what ails you. Spring fever fixes right here, and you will always be glad that you spent some time and made some time for yourself to enjoy the outdoors. So if you'd like to learn about birds, come join our ranger, John McKenzie, on Sunday, April 15th at 1 o'clock. Again, that's another North End Walk, 4122 River Drive, 1 o'clock. Wear good walking shoes, bring your binoculars and field guides if you have them. John's a great birder, and boy, at the North End of Riverfront Park in the spring, you can see all of our seasonal residents, you can see nesting activity, and you may get lucky and catch some of the migrants who are making that fabulous journey from South America up to points north, and we're a great stopover for them during this season. The North End of Riverfront Park, 4122 River Drive is accessible just beside the Broad River Bridge. So if you're familiar with that giant hill at the bridge, the gravel lane is on the east side, the Columbia side of the Broad River Bridge. We're tucked in there, and it's worth that little travel up the gravel lane to get to one of the best birding spots around. You can always find our list of events and walks at the city's website, columbiasc.net, parks and recreation, look for outdoor adventure. You will find all of the ranger events there, and we've got good things going on. Stay tuned. Thanks for joining us on City Talk. Remember, you can always find details about what we're doing at the city's website on columbiasc.net, go to parks and recreation, and look for outdoor adventure. You will be glad that you did. Thank you.
