A view of the pond from anywhere!

We are pleased to present the new Goose Pond Webcam! Now you can check out what’s happening at Goose Pond from wherever you are… your living room, the grocery store, or across the country. All you need is an internet connection and your curiosity. Are the swans back yet? How many species of waterfowl are there? Was that a mink? Has the pond thawed out yet?

We welcome you to visit the pond in person as well! But in the meantime, enjoy a coffee break with a view, or see how many species you can identify with your kids. Enjoy the Pond Cam!
