Wildlife Feeding at Our Pond

Jessica Burke • January 13, 2021

Swans, Ducks and Geese

Situated along Little Neck Bay, Golden Pond, also known as Crocheron Pond, is home to a number of species of wildlife. Above is a video of some of the swans, mallard ducks, and Canadian geese feeding in the pond. The moss on the rock was especially tasty for the swans. While the other birds are diving for food. The pond is partially frozen over, so the birds have been hopping from one section of the pond to another.

As you can see, the pond is an area that accumulates a lot of trash. We are working on cleaning up the trash, removing it from both the shoreline and using kayaks. The picture above shows how out of place litter is amongst the flock of mallard ducks.

Reach out to us if you are interested in helping to improve the health of Our Pond!

We also want to keep wild animals - well, WILD! If people are feeding animals, they will begin to expect it and become less fearful of humans. We do not want to change their behavior. Feeding wild animals can harm wild animals that live in Our Park.
