Not your usual birding hotspot.  It’s not really anything.  Just a dusty dirt road, some farm ponds, and there isn’t even a spot to pull a car off the road.  I park at the entrance to a plowed field at one end and walk out and back.

 

 

But it is a place with birds.  Our latest visit there got us 24 species in half an hour.  Here is an unusual one for us; an American Robin.  They don’t often come this far south.  Funny how one person’s common bird is another person’s rare find.  Geography matters!

 

And a charming little Eastern Phoebe.  They are not uncommon here.
