Belmar Park has a few ponds, many trees, and nice trails. Nesting Double-crested Cormorants and Great Blue Herons use the same nests every year in Cottonwood trees on an island in the largest lake. Mallards, Gadwalls, Canada Geese, and a pair of Avocets are consorting and nesting.
The future of Canada Geese is assured. Several pairs have little groups of goslings surrounding them.

Each female Mallard had an average of 6 ducklings following her. peep peep peep
