Signs on a locked gate say Rimmy Jim is closed thru 2019 for an antelope study.

This very unscenic spot is well worth a check during passerine and shorebird migrations. Lines of tamarisks attract migrant songbirds of many flavors, and shorebirds are attracted to rare access to mudflats in the middle of a desert. In winter, look for raptors and check Horned Lark flocks for possible longspurs. The turnoff from US-89 is marked by turn lanes (one in each direction; there aren’t many of those along this stretch of road) and you can see the patch of tamarisks from the highway.

Rimmy Jim Tank is north of East Rimmy Tank Road.
