While the river level is coming down, Bay Point Park and Colvill Park are still flooded and closed. Wildlife have taken over both parks, with Greater Yellowlegs, Blue-winged Teals, Canada Geese, and Bald Eagles enjoying some time away from people. I imagine the parks will need a lot of cleaning before they can be open again. Very few eagle nests show evidence of young ones.
