does anyone know if there are legal trails within the sanctuary itself,
along the edges, or is birding done just along the main road?

my friend and i attempted to bird from the road this afternoon and, while it
was fun for the specie count, it wasn't fun for the photographic (the birds
were just too far away in most cases)...

among the more interesting:

..1. the osprey tower is occupied and at least one photo seems to indicate
there is a chick within (though it's a difficult angle)...
..1a. starlings appear to be nesting directly underneath the osprey nest on
the tower...

..2. cedar waxwings are trooping through

..3. tree swallows are in full mating rut right now...

..4. several flocking american goldfinch...
