The vibrant birdlife around Bullough’s Pond may be one of the first things visitors to the pond notice, but many creatures great and small frequent this lovely place.  In the summer, the pond is literally buzzing with bees, dragonflies , mosquitoes and other insects.

Raccoons are always nearby, and when there are few people about, that’s when a coyote might be spotted, as this one was, just a few feet from the pond.

If you see an animal species that's not in our inventory, we'd be grateful if you'd kindly contact us with the species name, the date and the approximate location in or around the pond where it was seen.  Thank you!
