This trip is specifically designed for beginning birders in a location with paved trails, handicapped parking and fully accessible restrooms. Whether you walk, use a wheelchair, or a walker, this trip is for you. The location offers both grassy park areas along with a pond that is home to Pied-billed Grebe, Canada Goose, Mallards, Wood Ducks, Double-crested Cormorants, Green Herons and, during the winter, American Coots. The pond features a fully accessible viewing platform allowing easy viewing of the water birds. In addition, Great Blue Heron and Great Egret nesting rookeries may be visible at this time of year.
