Presentation transcript:

This photo was taken in August 2008. Wildlife Wading birds, such as White Ibis, Snowy Egrets, and Little Blue Herons (immature pictured here), often use the SEEP basin. When water levels are low in the late winter and early spring, fish, amphibians, and insects become concentrated in the shallow areas and are easy prey for these birds. Migrating song birds also use the mix of shrubs and marsh for cover and foraging. Many species of reptiles and amphibians frequent the pond during different times of the year. The value of stormwater basins as wildlife habitat is another reason to ensure that the water entering them is of good quality. This photo was taken in August 2008.
