Abstract:

This state park offers a site for expected outdoor activities: birding, canoeing, kayaking, and camping. Offerings perhaps unexpected include a public beach, outdoor classrooms, and an auditorium. As for a past benefit that’s unexpected, it is its Tar Kiln Trail, a major producer of pine tar for the area during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Abstract:

Pictured parrots such as the South American Macaw have a reputation at Sylvan Heights Bird Park that's seemingly oxymoron by nature. Beauty can be perceived in their multi-colored plumage. The on-site perches and benches are vulnerable to their beaks and talons’ destructive potential.
