Pigeon House Creek

A great blue heron browses a granite outcrop on Pigeon House Creek at Capital Boulevard. Pigeon House has headwaters at Edna Metz Park and Cameron Village and follows Capital Boulevard east after being culverted through much of its path through Cameron Park and down Johnson Street.

Notice the streamwatch unit here at Cameron Village. Underground are the headwaters.
