12/15/2004.  This is a small park.  You can drive right into the park and up to a traffic circle with viewing points along the sidewalk around much of this circle.  They have set up some very nice birding guides along the semi-circular fence.  They also have black silhouettes of many of the birds hung on the bars of the fence to aid further in bird identification.  Dr. Patrick L.
