Description:
“A pool of an acre or more lies in the centre of the bog. This was formerly an arm of the [Agawam] river called the “toad hole,” and often swarming with fish. It is still a breeding place for toads, and also a resort for herons, bitterns or shore birds in their seasons. Swamp sparrows, sharp tailed finches and rails frequent its marshy borders.” – “Annual report of the Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture” by Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture – “Two Years With the Birds on a Farm” by Edward Howe Forbush, Ornithologist to the Board, 1902, pages 117-118.
