Eastlake #3 Park and Nature Preserve

Aliases: Eastlake Reservoir #3, Eastlake Shores Park

This lake may be small, but the bird numbers here often aren’t! The full suite of waterbirds could be found here (at least when the water isn’t frozen). Look especially for species like Hooded Merganser and Cinnamon and Blue-winged Teals. The surrounding cattail marshes can have Virginia Rail and Sora on occasion, as well as Marsh Wren, and the riparian habitat may be good for migrants in season.
