Pond |
Although our Nature Center pond is very small, it is home to a surprising variety of wildlife. The footbridge crossing the pond offers some of the best wildlife watching opportunities on site. The fish you might see here include bass, trout, sturgeon, and suckers. In addition to the fish, this small pond attracts muskrat, mink, beaver, great blue herons, and several species of ducks and songbirds. Nesting boxes around the pond provide secure places for wood ducks to hatch their eggs. Goose-nesting platforms are also used every year, and if your timing is right, you may also get to see newly hatched goslings jump from the platform to the water below.
