HABITAT:	City of Ephrata’s family-friendly, 27.5-acre park with pond, wetlands, and quarter-mile stretch of woods.
BIRDING:	Woods provide good cover for Downy Woodpeckers, Spotted Towhees, and Lincoln’s Sparrows. Wood Ducks are possible in late spring in wetlands and pond. In May, look in willows for Nashville and Orange-crowned Warblers, Warbling Vireos, and Western Tanagers. Trees provide summer home for nesting American Goldfinches, Song Sparrows, and occasional Long-eared Owls. In winter, Mallards frequent wetlands while Bohemian and Cedar Waxwings favor tall trees.
