McNary pond is the seasonally flooded horse pasture on Hwy 20 between Toledo
and Newport. It is on the north side of Hwy 20. McNary Lane is a short,
dead-end county road that wraps around the west and north sides. It commonly
has waterfowl, shorebirds, and CostCo Blackbirds. An Eurasian Common
(Green-winged) Teal has wintered there the past four years.
