			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Robert for the tip.  I received an e-mail from him over the weekend  that mentioned two sets of bird nests just south of Haynes Bridge Road where the trail splits.  The nests are filled with <a title="Green Heron Wikipedia Article" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Heron">Green Herons</a>, that look as though they are about to leave the nests.  Today I saw roughly a dozen birds remaining.  You will easily notice the nests if you head south from the <a title="Haynes Bridge Parking Area" href="http://www.bigcreekgreenway.com/index.php/parking-and-directions/#haynesbridge">Haynes Bridge parking lot</a> and watch for the large sections of droppings covering the trail on both sides <a title="Walking Directions from Haynes Bridge Parking Lot" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;source=s_d&amp;saddr=34.044884,-84.284568&amp;daddr=34.04211,-84.287766&amp;geocode=&amp;hl=en&amp;mra=ls&amp;dirflg=w&amp;sll=34.043023,-84.285511&amp;sspn=0.006463,0.013937&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=34.043597,-84.286138&amp;spn=0.003232,0.006968&amp;t=h&amp;z=18">when the trail splits</a>.</p>
<p>When I walked that portion of the trail to verify the nests today, I didn&#8217;t have my camera.  I will head back out tomorrow to try and get some good shots of the herons before they leave their nests.</p>
<p>On another note, I was lucky to see a young deer along the trail today heading to the birds nest.  It is fairly common on the Alpharetta trail to see deer.  If you have any tips on animal sightings, or would like to report seeing any animals, post an article to our new <a title="Animal Sightings section of Community Forums" href="http://www.bigcreekgreenway.com/index.php/community/?vasthtmlaction=viewforum&amp;f=6.0">Community Forums</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our site is constantly evolving.  We&#8217;re striving to make this the best site to get information about the Big Creek Greenway in Forsyth and Fulton Counties.  To further this effort, we wanted to ask our users what they would like to see on the site, and also give an idea of the features and content currently being developed.</p>
<h3>Currently in development:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Current Conditions</strong></span> &#8211; This page will give information on the current condition of the Greenway trail in 2 sections, Forsyth and Alpharetta.  In addition to the current weather and creek level it will give the status of that segment of the trail.  This will come in handy given the amount of rain we have seen recently.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Community Forums</strong></span> &#8211; The forums will give a place for our users to talk about the Greenway, plan events, and give feedback about the site.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Ideas not yet in development:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Flickr Photo Pool</strong></span> &#8211; A photo pool on Flickr would allow you to share your pictures of the Greenway on the site.  We would feature a photo each day or week on the site.</li>
</ul>
<p>Are there any other features you would like to see on the site?  Anything that you would like to see incorporated into the features listed above?  We&#8217;d love to get some feedback so that the site can keep moving in the right direction.  Leave a comment below, or <a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.bigcreekgreenway.com/index.php/contact-us/">send us an e-mail</a> with your suggestions!</p>
