Turk's Pond SWA

Description: Check this small pond for ducks during the fall and spring, and shorebirds if the water is low. The few small trees around the lake could contain migrants in season, and sparrows during the winter. The small pond across from the entrance road often has as many ducks as Turk's Pond does. Other wildlife here can include white-tailed deer, rabbits, foxes, raccoons, reptiles and amphibians.

Habitat: Pond/Lake/Reservoir
