Join us for a late fall visit to Chickawaukie Pond in Rockland. This pond attracts a good variety of migrating waterfowl including Ruddy Ducks, Ringed-neck Ducks, American Coots, scaup, goldeneye, merganser, and Buffleheads.

A walk out on the Breakwater takes you into the middle of Rockland Harbor to where the sea birds can be found. In winter, it is a great spot for Purple Sandpipers, loons, grebes, scoters, Common Goldeneyes, Black […]
