Connecticut and Mourning Warblers are recorded annually behind the wall at Whiting Park, peaking in late May and early September. Early October is the best time to find LeConte's Sparrows , which are occasionally present behind the wall in the grassy cover near the tracks. While the main fall warbler flight occurs throughout the month of September, sparrows tend to peak from late September through mid-October. Whiting Park is a particularly good site to visit on windy days during migration, as the shelter provided by the wall is quite attractive to small migrant passerines. Unofficially, however, birders have noted that access to the park is available year-round.
Restrooms are available throughout late spring and summer.
