Birding in the middle of nowhere.

In Indiana, we have a relatively new area in which to bird called Goose Pond.  It is in the middle of nowhere, there are no facilities to speak of, most of the roads are gravel and most of the parking areas might fit two small cars side-by-side.  You probably won't see too many people, unless there is a rare bird sighting.  You definitely want to wear rain boots or hip waders, or be prepared to have squishy shoes and socks the rest of the day.  You should also pack bug spray, depending on the season.  The name is a bit misleading; there is more than one body of water.  There are several, in fact, and some of them are channels that you'll have to slosh through if you hope to see anything.  The "trails" are anything but "clearly defined".  I was bush whacking through grasses that towered over my head.  So is it worth the effort?  YES!  The area is perfect for wading birds, shore birds, migratory birds, and more.  On the mid-October day that I visited, I saw Bald Eagles, Northern Harriers, White Pelicans, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, huge flocks of Red-Winged Blackbirds and American Coots, Blue-Winged Teals, Northern Rough-Winged Swallows, Swamp Sparrows, Marsh Wrens, Northern Shovelers and so many others.  Since it is about four hours away from my home, I won't be able to visit often, but I definitely want to go back some time.
