George Owens Nature Park is open throughout the weekend and there are hummingbirds and Monarch butterflies galore now. If the front gate is locked, park across the street and walk in. The patio behind the Lodge is lined with hummingbird feeders and tables have been spaced for social distancing. It’s also in the open air and covered so a nice place for a picnic and to watch the hummingbirds. Inside, DeWitt nature center will be open until 5 pm today and from noon to 5 pm on S...unday; closed on Monday. Finally, the Hummingbird Festival begins on Wednesday and runs through next Saturday.
