Islands of Sapsucker Woods Pond

The small islands with both live trees and snags make great habitat for birds of all sorts. Canada Geese and ducks nest on the islands and shorelines. While the trees are prime perching spots for songbirds which can keep an eye on the open sky and small raptors which enjoy the clear vantage point of the pond and surrounding area. Some popular species you’ll find here include American Goldfinch, Blue Jay, Merlin, Green Heron, and Belted Kingfisher. In the past, Great Blue Herons have nested on a now fallen snag.
