Tucked in the woods along Holly Fork Road, this large wooded millpond is easily viewable from the road. The surrounding woods here are good for a variety of woodland birds including woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, and titmice at all times of the year. During the breeding season, this spot will be alive with the songs of Acadian Flycatchers, Eastern Wood-Pewees, Yellow-throated and Red-eyed Vireos, and a variety of warblers such as Hooded, Yellow-throated, Pine, Black-and-white, and Ovenbird. The pond itself provides suitable habitat for breeding Wood Ducks, Green Herons, and Prothonotary Warblers. Whistling for screech-owl here has a decent shot of getting a response. Lack of eBird effort during the winter months means there are few reports of waterfowl, but it is reasonable to expect that, as with many wooded ponds, ducks can be hit or miss.
