点评:There is lots of possibilities for wildlife here, but my disappointment is in how it is presented for birdwathers. The NEW visitors center is strange as others have commented. A map was provided to me at the visitors center and that is about it. Why didn't they explain the numbers in the ponds on the map are the #'s on the post near the pond for parking?? The trail that starts at the visitor center is "what for". It is through tall weeds and you don't overlook anything. You do walk near -- a pond,, but , why not have the trail around the pond. The parking lot is large, 3-4 picnic tables are out front of the building. A clean restroom with the entrance on the outside is available. I couldn't find GOOSE Pond/Visitor center, and we had already driven 1 1/2 hrs to get there. Even when I called the visitor's center for GPS coordinates I was given the wrong ones. We were close, but signage around the large acreage should have the same map available at the "service centers" as you get in the Visitors Center so you can figure out what roads in the area are part of Goose Pond. Most roads are gravel/dirty roads, narrow with no shoulders. The "service centers" was a tall roofed leanto with information for hunters. BirdWatchers are not well represented here. We had a good time because we stopped other birders and asked questions. The water was low to non-existent in every pond. I am sure other times of the years there are birds here -- as other birds commented -- but not in Sept. I will try back in March, now that I know how to get here.

翻译:这里有很多野生动物的可能性,但令我失望的是它是如何呈现给鸟类的。正如其他人所评论的那样,新的游客中心很奇怪。在游客中心向我提供了一张地图,仅此而已。为什么他们不解释地图上池塘中的数字是池塘附近停车位上的#?从游客中心开始的步道是“what for”。它穿过高大的杂草,你不会忽视任何东西。你确实走得很近——一个池塘,但是,为什么不在池塘周围走一条小路。停车场很大,大楼前有 3-4 张野餐桌。干净的卫生间,入口在外面。我找不到 GOOSE Pond/游客中心,我们已经开车 1 1/2 小时到达那里。甚至当我打电话给游客中心询问 GPS 坐标时,我也得到了错误的坐标。我们很接近,但是大片土地周围的标牌应该在“服务中心”提供与游客中心相同的地图,这样您就可以弄清楚该地区的哪些道路是鹅池塘的一部分。大多数道路都是砾石/肮脏的道路,狭窄且没有路肩。 “服务中心”是一个高大的屋顶棚屋,为猎人提供信息。 BirdWatchers 在这里没有很好的代表。我们玩得很开心,因为我们阻止了其他观鸟者并提出了问题。每个池塘的水都很少甚至没有。我确信一年中的其他时间这里有鸟儿——正如其他鸟儿评论的那样——但不是在 9 月。我会在 3 月再试一次,现在我知道如何到达这里。访客中心的 GPS 设置 - N 38.96777 W 087.19738
