Because of the high-water levels, we were unable to bird the East Pond. We did walk the West Pond, took a quick look at Big John’s Pond, and viewed a small portion of the East Pond from the trail leading east of Big John’s Pond. Our highlight on the West Pond was a Barn Owl perched on top of the Barn Owl nesting box. On the East Pond we viewed a single Stilt Sandpiper foraging with Short-billed Dowitchers across the stretch of water.
