This site is best during April and into the first half of May. Dabbling ducks peak through the first half of April and shorebirds from late April through mid-May. A scope is not absolutely essential but can be very helpful.

A variety of shorebirds has been observed over the years but Solitary Sandpiper, both yellowlegs, Wilson’s Snipe and Killdeer are most common. Both Virginia Rail and Sora breed here and Sandhill Crane is an occasional visitor. Willow Flycatcher nests in the willow thicket swamp near the north end of the site and Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark in the fields to the west. Birding the roadside during migration can be reasonably productive.

This site is a thicket swamp/hayfield and pasture which typically experiences substantial vernal flooding and with a portion of the area remaining wet throughout most of the summer. It attracts a variety of dabbling ducks and other waterbirds. All lands on either side of the road are private, so do not trespass. Be sure to pull your vehicle as far off the road and possible and park only on one side of the road, leaving enough space for local traffic and farm machinery to pass.
