Carters Line Road Pond

This pond can be a good spot to look for shorebirds depending on the water level and has hosted waterfowl and herons as well.  Loggerhead Shrikes and Dickcissels have also been found further down the road to the east.  Unusual sightings include: Sandhill Crane (4/26/2016), Dunlin (5/6/2013), White-rumped Sandpiper (5/4-5/8/2017), Snow Goose (3/21/2014, 2/10-3/4/2016) and Cackling Goose (12/18/2014).

Accessibility: Viewable from Carters Line Road. Please do not leave the road as the property is privately owned.  Parking along this road is a tricky, the best bet is to pull off and park near the railroad crossing and walk back down the road to the pond. It's best to scan the pond from both the gate near the silo and from the low point of the road at the bottom of the hill.  This will allow you to view the pond from two different angles and birds are often only visible from one of these vantage points.
