Every year in May and June, we head to this park to record frogs. The pond allows you to get close to the water surface and take photos of amphibians very close. We shot some spectacular photos of amphibians here.
This park is renown for Wood Duck (Aix sponsa). Because they are nesting in this park, you will be able to take photos of ducklings in spring.
Carry with you a long lens for opportunities to take photos of birds of prey: Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus), Coopers Hawk (Accipiter striatus) and Eastern Screech-Owl (Megascops asio). Particularly late winter, very early spring.
Primary destination in May and June to observe and record American Bullfrog (Rana Catesbeiana), Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans) and Wood Duck (Aix sponsa). Occasionally, you may spot birds of prey and foxes. It’s a large park with different good spots for birdwatching.
Number of times a species has been observed, identified and recorded while visiting this park. A species is reported only once per visit to a park. Visit the page Park Visit Journals and learn how we record observations in the field.
