Looking for a peaceful area to enjoy your lunch or simply want to spend some time bird watching? The Audubon Bird Garden is located directly behind Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center and connects to the trail to Wrens Pond. This area features a small pavilion with benches for observation along the running stream. While in the garden you may observe many different species of birds as well as other native wildlife to the area.
