This small lake is home to wintering Bufflehead, Hooded Mergansers, and Ring-necked Ducks, as well as geese flocks. Gadwall and Canvasback have also been recorded. The pond can be viewed by parking at the entrance to the Colonial Baptist Church and walking across US 250 to view from the roadside, something that should be done with care, as this is a busy road and the shoulder is rather narrow.
