An inlet in the southeastern corner of Serpentine Lake in the Christmas Mountains. Water flowing downhill from the nearby mountains empties into this small pond, which continues to flow into the much larger Serpentine Lake. Our research team would often see bald eagles and western osprey fishing the waters of Serpentine Lake.<br />

Although this pond is very shallow, it is also very tranquil, with a small series of waterfalls just to the left, where the mountain streams empties into the pond. It takes little imagination to consider putting a cabin near the shore here.<br />

Red-eyed Vireo Nominate subspecies Vireo olivaceus olivaceus Britannia Conservation Area, Ottawa, Ontario 17 May 2009 Red-eyed vireos are common birds of the forests. They are more often heard than seen, singing in the mid-canopy where its drab green plumages helps to camouflage it. It is best located by listening for its song, which resembles the pneumonic "here-I-am-where-are-you."
