What birds are here, and what do they eat? We are still having wintry weather. Such a nice area. Can bird feeders be installed here and maintained? One of the first words a child says, and birds are many people's first introduction to nature.

Hi Cindy, great question. Could you elaborate on your last sentence? Lots of ducks and geese by the river, and the occasional seagull. Also seen sparrows, heard morning doves, and i am sure there are more. Would not recommend feeding any of the birds, but would direct any questions to the DCR website.

I am more accustomed to Spy pond area landscape near Arlington.... Massachusetts Avenue- so this answer is relevant to that park area which is not very far away. There are plenty of booklets & brochure s displayed on stands around spypond garden area, with pictures & information about local birds. Also ducks or other water birds floating and feeding on the lake fish - but once a local lady ( guide ?) pointed to a great eagle gliding sky high... The wing spread must be about 3 meters..

Thank you. I'm new at this (wanting to help the birds). I discovered Wild Birds Unlimited (several locations) on Instagram. They carry feeders and food for birds. Very nice pictures and some video there. I lost my pet bird as a girl (was not mature enough to care well enough for it). Pet birds are wonderful too. Thank you for responding. I would like if apartment complexes and parks would care for the birds there. They are a comfort to me, and to other people. I would be glad to contribute to that (maybe get something going). I like horses too and cats. I hope the rabbits are doing ok. Happy spring and summer in this nice area. Nice that there are these spaces.
