Big John's Pond
My-Note: In spring or early summer, water level of Big John's Pond may be higher.
"The air is astir with green darners (a species of dragonfly ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Darner ). There are bluets (a cerulean damselfly) everywhere."
"Big John's Pond is named after the bulldozer operator by that name. Originally created to provide freshwater habitat for reptiles and amphibians, it has become a magnet for the avian tribe-- black-crowned and yellow-crowned night-herons, green heron, great egret, snowy egret, cattle egret, tri-colored heron, little blue heron, glossy ibis, wood duck, green-and blue-winged teal, mallard, black duck, northern shoveler, snipe, woodcock, kingfisher, flicker, kinglets, yellow and yellow-rumped warblers, common yellowthroat, eastern phoebe and brown thrasher. In more than 10 years of observation, I have recorded close to 100 species. "
