The PSU/Centre Furnace Duck Pond is very near campus, and occasionally comes up with a rarity or two. It is also good for winter water fowl because it does not normally freeze over. And welcome!

I thought I'd ask if anyone has favorite hotspots within biking distance of University Park. I'd particularly love to see warblers and, come winter, any irruptive species you might see here at least occasionally that I wouldn't likely see back home (I'm from the south). The evening grosbeak is a particular long-term nemesis....
