Migrating waterfowl.
Goose Lake is underbirded but sometimes has mixed waterfowl. It is a 10 acre pond [in a 30 acre Open Space].
It is located in the north W half of the rectangle bounded by 240th St [north], Kansas Ave and the Heartland Express facility [west], Alexander Way [east] and Nick Dr on the S. Coming into N Liberty from the I 380on F 28/Penn St, turn N on Kansas, drive a short distance to Nick Dr [<0.2 mi], turn Right and immediately turn Left on an unnamed gravel road that leads to some electrical boxes [< 0.2 mi]. As you drive in there is a small wetland on the W, a ‘Federally and Locally Protected Wetland’. To view Goose Lake from the N, continue past Kansas and turn Left on Alexander Way. Turn W on 240th [a gravel road thai eventually ends at a private house].
