General Information

Forest Park is essentially a park of two halves, either side of Woodhaven Boulevard. On the west side of Woodhaven there are sports fields and even a golf course in Forest Park - these areas are generally less productive for birds. On the east side of Woodhaven there's an fairly extensive wooded area that is good for passerines on migration and during winter.
