Yes,  Don is right. This flooded field is a awesome place to see all kinds
of waterfowl. But the the first time I went here the water nearly went over
the road. But don't worry now because there is only a small " pond " left.
The road is generally quite, and you can pull over on the side of the road
and look at the birds. A scope is a good idea for the site as well.
