Jim Baker Reservoir and nearby ponds
Aliases: Lake Sangraco
This small reservoir has good access provided by a trail around the lake, and can hold various waterfowl species during migration. A small cattail patch should be checked for Virginia Rail and Marsh Wren, and the scrub and riparian habitat for migrants such as Orange-crowned and Wilson’s Warblers, and various sparrows, in season.
