This small pond located behind the Hardee’s in Verona is best viewed by parking in the Hardee’s parking lot and walking along the road until you can see the Pond. This Pond, despite not looking very impressive in size at first glance, is an unusually good place to find a variety of waterfowl in winter. Hooded Merganser, Bufflehead, American Black Duck, Gadwall, Mallard, and Canada Goose are common winter residents, while rarer species such as Greater White-fronted Goose, Cackling Goose, and Long-tailed Duck have also been known to stop here during the winter season or spring migration.
