Birds of Interest

This park is home to breeding warblers in the summer, many migrants in the spring and fall, and many woodpeckers in the winter. Hummingbird feeders and native plants near the nature center can attract Rufous and Black-chinned Hummingbirds in the fall. Lick Creek has two bird blinds one near Fox Trot Trail is ADA accessible and the pathway is paved from the parking lot all the way to the blind. The second bird blind can be found on Yapon trail just tucked in the woods and is a favorite viewing spot for woodpeckers, owls and warblers. The parks staff set out water and food regularly at the Gary Halter Nature Center and both bird blinds.
