Geocache Description:





This is an easy suburban cache. Expect to walk about a half mile round trip on level ground.

Notice - You won't see many birds in the winter so come back in the spring, summer, or fall.

A wonderful bird is the pelican
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak food enough for a week,
But I'm damned if i can see how the helican

Dixon Lanire Merrith in his poem "The Pelican" (1910)


We moved to Reno in 2002 and expected to find a desert. Instead we discovered a wonderful outdoors playland. We love the close proximity to the mountains and the river.

One of our nicest discoveries was that the wetlands near our home contain some amazing and surprising creatures. One of our best discoveries was “Alexander Lake” which is on the North East corner of the Double Diamond Ranch housing development. We were pleased to find the abundance of water birds there including White Pelicans, Great Egrets, and White-Faced Ibis.

This is not a themed cache. Please take and leave whatever you want.

Enjoy the area.
