Stage's Pond

This is a hidden nature preserve just off of route 23 north of Circleville, Ohio.  It is a nice hike, is mostly flat but the hike winds around thru forest then to a praire.  There are two lakes with a lot of wildlife.

This is a view of one lake from the praire side of the preserve.  We saw a Doe and her twins playing in this area.












The white tail deer.

Checking to see if we were a threat.  After a while they ignored us and went on with their business.

These little rabbits are everywhere.  There hasn't be a time that we visited and they weren't around. They have the biggest eyes.

These are berry bushes in bloom

One visit the wild roses were blooming and smelled wonderful.

This fellow had us guessing...We thought we had discover big foots little brother!! But he turned out to be a sleeping raccoon.

This fellow was singing his heart out.  He is a Eastern Towhee.  There are a lot of different varities of birds at Stage's Pond.  One time we saw a red fox and one of the caretakers told us where there are owls.  We still have yet to see them.

There are Heron on the lake.  We have seen one everytime we have been there.
