Eagle's Nest Pond

This small pond lies alongside Aero Drive on the way to Eagles Nest Airport (a private airport). This pond can yield a variety of waterfowl in winter/spring such as Snow Goose, Tundra Swan, Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, Scaup, Pied-billed Grebe, and Gadwall. A White-winged Scoter spent some time here in Feb 2014. Other birds found here include Belted Kingfisher, Red-shouldered Hawk, swallows, sparrows, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Red-winged Blackbird. Park off the road past the pond and walk back to view the water and surrounding shrubs and trees. The pond and walking trail around the pond are private property, so it's best to view from the road.
