You cannot exit your car to get closer to the lake. Please be mindful of residents.

As you drive along CR 234, you will pass mesquite habitat that is productive for wintering and migrating birds such as Ash-throated Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe, Bewick's Wren, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, as well as a variety of sparrows, towhees, and buntings. Watch for flocks of Sandhill Crane on the roadsides during migration. At Southridge Estates, Crest Circle Dr. circles a lake that must be birded from the roadside. In the winter, watch for ducks such as Mallard, Gadwall, various teal, Northern Pintail, Canvasback and Ring-neck Duck. During migration, Wilson's Phalarope and other shorebirds use the lake. At times, there are flocks of American White Pelican. When you exit, turn left on CR 234 and check the three additional roadside ponds within the next 0.5-mile.
