Rocky Pond is just beyond the bog. A walk around the perimeter will take you to the pond edge. Rocky Pond is a good example of a kettle-hole pond: deep, clear, and spring fed. Park staff have installed a kestrel nest box high in the large oak tree at the pond edge. Kestrels, smallest of the hawks, are also known as sparrow hawks. They are the size of a robin with gray blue wings and a rust colored back. Kestrels hunt insects, mice and small birds. During nesting time, both parents tend the eggs and feed the young.
