This is a popular spot for waterfowl nests every yr. However, being the #PAPark in #lowerburrellpa doesn't keep up on maintenance here...it is becoming dangerous. There are so many #fishing line&lure all over this thing. #MallardMonday #Audubon #Canadiangeese #birds #birdsofbluesky #birdsoftheworld
