i will try to answer this best i can . . . i am responsible for that site being
on the map to begin with because it allows early a.m./late p.m./weekend access
to birding some of the ponds at the Heart of the Hills Fisheries Research
Center . . . unfortunately/fortunately it is the only access/location for a
number of species in kerr county
there is a caretaker who was hired/moved in a couple years after the maps were
produced. he has taken it upon himself to shoo people away. i think he tires of
picking up after people, and just huffs and puffs a lot . . .
it is a historical cemetery, mainly because the Dowdy children are buried there

i don't know what its public/private status is however . . . other cemeteries,
even family cemeteries, so designated around here have no problems with
visitors . . .
i have no problems going in there, perhaps because he's used to seeing me
there, i don't know . . . i do know he likes turtles so if you can engage him
have at it
i'll see if i can get some answers, but in general i'd venture to say you can
try, and if he gets huffy, then move along . . .
otherwise, you can also bird at the reseach center, but it's only open on
weekdays on a work schedule, and you MUST check in at the office -- do not just
go in and drive or walk around . . .
