This Park was the most fruitful in number of birds of all the sites visited in this spring's early morning migratory bird walks. A bird list would include Bullock's Oriole, Western Kingbird, Olive Sided Flycatcher, Scrub and Stellar's Jays, Western Tanager, Acorn Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers, Nashville and other Warblers, black and yellow billed Magpies, Bluebird, Northern Flicker and Red breasted Sapsucker. Several raptors may be seen there including the American Kestrel and Red tailed Hawk. There is a Red Shouldered Hawk nesting with vocal young near Squirrel Creek that runs through the park.
