I birded here from 11:20-3:40. I started at the Oak St. end and walked along the left side all the way out to the end of the dike. I then exited via the Norroway Rd. exit

Ruddy Duck 62

P.S. the smaller body of water near Norroway Ave. is a part of Great Pond, and noy Norroway Pond. The reason the road is Norroway Rd. is due to NORROWAY BROOK running behind the houses on the right side. Norroway Brook leads out of Norroway Pond, WHICH IS PART OF the POWERS FARM! It runs out to that small section of Great Pond that I've already mentioned.
