One of my new places to bird (and walk) is Allendale's Crestwood Park (most locals just call it Crestwood Lake).
Right now I'm seeing Red-tails and Song Sparrows and a few Northern Cardinals, Modos, etc., but I figure it'll pick up as the weather warms. Killdeer, anyone? They nest here in the spring.
The lake itself is currently drained, and Pipits and Wilson's Snipes have been seen on the lake bed last fall, along with a Clay-colored Sparrow on the lawn.
