Description: Periodically flooded private pasture in spring or after heavy rains. Private land site can be observed only from the county graveled road (Ave. S).

Habitat: Wet meadow/periodically flooded grass pasture, but recently with improved drainage tile, which is reducing the value of this site to shorebirds or other migrating waterbirds.

Directions: This pond in Boone County is one mile south of Bjorkboda Marsh (which is actually in Hamilton County), on the east side of S Avenue. Please see Bjorkboda Marsh directions in the gazateer.
