What To Look For
This small, six-acre park overlooks Lake Erie and is essentially a "lake watch" site for birders. Massive clouds of migrant Red-breasted Mergansers can be seen in November and December, along with many other species of waterfowl. Gull diversity can be good as well.
Spring brings a variety of migrant songbirds to the park's trees, and favorable weather conditions in March and April can bring noteworthy numbers of migrant raptors overhead.
