Since I haven't figured out yet how to sprinkle the photos thru the blog so they match with the words, I am posting these separately. This park and bird sanctuary is directly across the street from the purple house and is a treasure. (Note the view of the house from the park entry area!)
Note - feral chickens, plus a couple lost peacocks, are a feature of this neighborhood and frankly much of the island. The chickens are, at a guess, often fed by visitors to the park - they collect in a large gang very quickly. I was leaving the park and heard this patterpatter, thought I'd perhaps been caught in a rainshower, turned around and realized the sound was that of about 35 chickens' feet tapping against the pavement as they rushed to follow me, ever so hopefully.
Lots of, well, cocky roosters, lots of hens, a few sets of little baby chicks...
The park runs from South Road to the ocean, not that far away; the pond is probably the one pond on the island. A couple of ducks and a heron (at a guess) were evident when I visited; the rock layers are (to me - sorry, I am a bit of a geek about this) interesting.
Enjoy!
