If you are planning to go to MINWR, don't waste your time going to the Black Point Wildlife Drive! Most of the water there is now gone... No Water = No Food = NO BIRDS to be found.

Look for the birds at the less known roads such as Gator Creek Road, Peacocks Pocket Road, Bio Lab Road, or Shilo Marsh Road. They may be poor roads, but that's where the birds are.......

These shots were taken at Shilo Marsh Road.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
