Tips for birding Arlington Reservoir
Best birding per square inch in the state! From fall to spring the water is drawn down to manage water chestnut, and it results in lovely muck on the north end, great for sandpipers and dabbling ducks, and deeper on the southern side for diving ducks. Great for early spring migrants. The adjacent farm fields are owned by the Busa family, and they welcome birders (watch out for the crops). Unfortunately, this farm is threatened by possible conversion to soccer fields (!) so may not always be available. From Places to Bird in and around Arlington
