This is great news after the years-long restoration!  The Lily Pool, located on the corner of Fullerton Avenue and Cannon Drive, is a historic jewel and a great hotspot for warblers and passerines during spring and fall migration.

Did you know that excellent former local birder Ted Wolff, was the landscape architect who originally restored the Lily Pool? He designed many public spaces. He moved to Arizona.
