I always see an amazing variety of birds. Herons, seagulls (of course), not many pigeons (in fact I can't remember seeing a pigeon around here). Sparrows, chickadees, woodpeckers. On the trail I see redwing blackbirds, I've seen turkey vultures and red-tailed hawks, ducks, geese, cardinals, blue jays. The works. I also see rabbits and squirrels. If I stop by the water, I will see crabs, snails, and small fish.
