From the beach area you can watch the geese, ducks, and other waterfowl both on the pond and on land. They use the beach to come on shore to rest, eat, and nest. You may also watch the resident Great Blue Herons as they fish in the shallow water around the edge of the pond. Be careful to watch for the waterfowl as they sleep standing on one leg with their heads tucked to their wings. Until recently, the Canada Geese have only been in the area during the winter, migrating down from their summer nesting areas in Canada.



Along the bank of the beach you can see several of the plants you have learned about today. Also, you may see wild rose with its simple flower or its rose-hip fruit. You may also see several grasses , sedges, water hemlock and rushes around the area. An interesting plant to look for is the Jewelweed, so called due to the way dew and rain bead up on its leaves and form bright rainbow-colored "jewels."
