Tips for birding Grace Lake (Visteon Pond)
The body of water in Van Buren Twp., Wayne County, formerly known as the "Tyler Road pond" now bears an official name of Grace Lake, according to signs and maps in the Visteon complex that surrounds it.

The pond is on Tyler Road. When you look at your DeLorme or Google maps, you'll see that I-275 hooks off to the west north of I-94, then heads north right at Tyler. Note lake just east of I-275 and north of Tyler. Now there is a huge new parts plant north of that lake, but you can access a view of the lake from a quaint cemetery off of Tyler Road, north side obviously. In the winter the gulls rest by the 100s on the ice. It's their napping area and they fly between there and Edison Lake.

The Tyler Road Visteon Facility can beaccessed on weekends via entrances off Ecorse and Hannan Roads. Apparently the Tyler Road entrance is the tertiary option for the complex, albeit the one closest to the "gull action." From Michigan Birders email list
