Thanks for the clarification, Graham. For further clarification- there is a
third site within the Seven Points Rec. Area - the Picnic Area. It, like
the Campground Area, is a walk-in site, closed for the winter. It is a
peninsula between the Campground and Public Boat Ramp, and the birds seen
here would not be visible from either of the other sites.
