Trails lead to a pond about 3/4 of a mile from the parking lot, passing through streamside woodland and along wooded hillsides. This small area attracts a surprising variety of birds. The sanctuary birdlist includes 185 species including Marsh Wren, Bobolink, and a Hammond's Flycatcher in 2000. Description adapted from Birds of the Lehigh Valley and Vicinty, available at http://www.lehigh.edu/~bcm0/lvas/BOLV.htm. |
