The property is largely a glacial drumlin and has a variety of wildlife habitat – meadow, marsh, forest and upland. Johnson’s Pond, a public water reserve, borders the park and offers a nice spot for waterfowl observation.
Program Description
This program consists of a four hour “outdoor classroom” at Veasey Park. The program will provide new birders with the aids needed to begin bird identification: special characteristics, bird behavior, habitat preference and bird vocalization.
Participants will observe the birds at this productive birdwatching site, focusing on observation and bird identification techniques.
