| Significance of Tree: |
In the Watson
McCord neighborhood just southwest of the Indiana State Fair grounds,
there is a small "postage stamp" of a park...the Watson Park Bird
Sanctuary. Despite its small stature, the park is home to a family of
hawks (I think they are Cooper's hawks, but I'm not sure,) and other
birds. As the park is located close to Fall Creek and the Monon
Greenway, it will be a great place to see migrating birds as they make
their way through. Oh yes, the trees. Many mature trees, including
Ohio Buckeye, Black Walnut, and the common but majestic Northern
Hackberry, which is pictured here, are spread throughout the
sanctuary. the park is a friendly place, for both avian and human
visitors. |
| Address of Tree: |
3700 Watson Road. One
block south of 38th St., and three blocks east of College Avenue. |
