This area was developed thanks to the efforts of the local Boy Scouts to provide a protected area from which to watch the birds. Watch how the different waterfowl feed. Some "stand on their head", tail-up to nibble on the underwater plants. Others dive and swim after fish and other aquatic animals. Osprey soaring overhead, swoop to catch fish near the surface of the pond. Remember, though, many of the birds are here all year long in any weather, others are migratory and only here at specific times of the year.

The box in front of you is a nest for wood duck. The dense habitat necessary for this species to nest is scarce, therefore nesting boxes are built. You may also see several species of bids that like to nest in the thick plant cover.
