If you’ve been to the Lilac Festival, then you’ve been to Highland Park.  Is it a little weird here to bird in September?  Maybe – but someone has to do it, and this will be a nice relaxing trip after the craziness of the Muckrace the weekend before.  We’ll take a walk around the reservoir and through the pinetum, and we may even head across the street to the Lily Pond and the Sunken Garden.
