Tips for Birding

This hotspot is mainly for waterfowl, but there are a few trees around the back ponds and good vegetation around the back ponds for sparrows and possible Sora. This is a small lake or decent size pond and a scope is not required here. There is a creek and large trees than run behind Grace Church that is decent for passerines, but recently there was a fire and this area is burned pretty bad. It should still be good for wintering birds and woodpeckers. Eastern Screech Owl have been heard from this area. The best time to hit this spot is winter.

Birds of Interest

Waterfowl and wintering passerines. Nothing out of the ordinary has been recorded here.

About this Location

Two smaller ponds to the northwest of the main pond.
