Binoculars and a telescope are available. One seed feeding station and 4 hummingbird feeders are visible from the dining room and the porch. Song birds as well as lake birds are seen here. Bald Eagles frequent this hollow from late October until late February. Hummingbirds arrive on April 10th and are gone by the end of September.
Butterflies are numerous in the open areas.
The native vegetation and wildflowers attract a variety of butterflies and moths including the hummingbird moth. Native fish can be seen in the lake water from the dock or by snorkeling along the shoreline. Several small specimens are kept in an aquarium for up-close observation. Rabbits, birds, squirrels and chipmunks are also attracted to the salt and corn. The interaction is fascinating to watch.
