Their croaking call may alert you to their presence. Look closely for the small group of Double-crested Cormorants in this area. Watch for shrikes and kestrels on wires and poles. Take a right turn, heading back toward Logan. Be extremely careful all along the Valley View Highway when attempting to pull over onto the too-thin shoulder of the road.
Traffic here is heavy, fast and unsympathetic.
This stop will give you a good look around and a chance to listen in spring and early summer for both Sora and Virginia Rail . Listen, too, for the Bittern's thunder pumping sound. Look for shorebirds on the mudflats and surrounding the shallow pools. Black-bellied Plovers have been seen here in the fall, and it is a good place for dowitchers in the summer. Drive west out of town on 1st North.
