Bird blind is located a short walk from the parking area down a level mulch trail. This is a very good spot for wintering sparrows and towhees. The field trail just beyond the Chimney Swift tower is another good location for sparrows and other grassland birds, but beware of sticky mud in wet weather.
Harris's Sparrows and Spotted Towhees frequent the blind throughout winter.
