Re: body of water question

[Mark Stackhouse <westwings at sisna dot com>]

That is Chicken Creek Reservoir, which can be a great place for 
waterfowl and shorebirds in the spring. David Wheeler and I have made 
it a stop on our "Big Day" route for years - it's almost always 
produced well for us. I've seen a number of "good" birds there, 
including a Hudsonian Godwit a few years ago. It's always worth a stop 
this time of year.
