Moss Lake

This is a small private lake that can be scanned from the side of the county road. Large numbers of ducks sometimes congregate here in spring and (especially) fall, and you might see shorebirds too. The wet meadows both north and south of the lake can host White-faced Ibis in migration and blackbirds and Savannah Sparrows in summer.
