Not that I'm suggesting it by any means, but both Bentsen and Point Pelee
also have trams to get visitors into birding areas, with stops along the way
where you can get on and off.

And before the flames start, yes, I HIKED into Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park
with my group of 10 long before dawn last month to find the elf owl (and NB
Tyrannulet and many others) and hiked back out. (Don't have high
expectations of the "World Birding Center" there, though)

Hiking's fine with me, but with the first of the boomers retiring this year,
and so many more of them to come, some provision might want to be considered
eventually for what may be their future less-than-mobile access?  There are
a lot of gray and graying heads on the boardwalk at CC (mine included), And
they might be a major part of a new generation of committed birders.

Cheers...Bob
