Welcome to the Bird Sanctuary at Compton Park. This observation platform overlooks the McAdams Ditch, which is a flood control project of the City of Alexandria, and a home for wild avian species... and the source for a good legal fight too between residents and the city but that's a story for another time.
Here one may see quite a few bird species including Mourning Doves and Downy Woodpeckers, and other wild critters such as raccoons, skunks and mice.
The cache is a tube that's trying to follow a white rabbit, but got snagged by a wire.
Be careful of the wildlife. Do not venture into the canal, or inside the 'Do Not Mow' areas inside the concrete border. Please practice CITO if you can.
Congratulations zacharyfamily FTF
