"There is one commanding swan (I have seen a second smaller one, but not today) that rules the roost of the smaller and cleaner of the two Tibbetts Brook lakes. The smaller one is next to the, now closed, outdoor water park. EBird reports 167 species of birds sighted in this Westchester NY County park. You can see many Canadian geese, flying in and out in formation, and many ducks and pigeons are found here.
