Hawks always seem to be so angry at me. Seen through telescope, but later, he let me walk by without flying away.

Description
This is a packed gravel/sand/dirt road designed for heavy trucks from LA-MSID to work around the perimeter of the marsh. There isn't much shade. Bring binoculars and a spotting scope to look at the pot pourri of birds. No mosquitos when I was there in March.
