Set on two acres surrounded by giant black willows and native prairie, Paradise Pond is a unique, wooded freshwater wetland on Mustang Island. This secret hot spot fills with colorful songbirds each spring and fall, and more than 100 species of Neartic-Neotropical migratory birds have been observed in this little oasis. Birds that have been seen include the Swainson’s hawk, Northern Waterthrush, Yellow-billed Cuckoo — and Golden-winged, Chesnut-sided, Worm-eating and Cerulean Warblers.
Be sure to check the chalkboard at the entrance to the boardwalk. The day’s sightings are often noted.
