Tips for birding Hancock County Sanitary Landfill Wetland
There are two gravel parking spots along Township Road 109 on the north edge: one east and one west of a small woodlot that is .25 miles west of County Road 142. From these lots, a birder as quick access to the grasslands that take up the northeast corner of the landfill property. A quick walk north from either lot will take a birder to wetland ponds. Notable numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows breed in the grasslands, and one of only three spots in Hancock County where Marsh Wrens breed. Henslow's Sparrows are also possible breeders in the area. In the fall, look for Ammodramus sparrows in the grasslands near the wetland ponds on the east side of the woodlot. Walking is tricky; the only trails in the woods are a couple of all-terrain vehicle paths. Hunting is permitted on the property, so use discretion during hunting seasons. From Bob Sams
