405 Ave. turning right (south) looks like an old trail because it has been underwater often. Do not go on this road after a rain without a 4 wheel drive, and never after a heavy rain. It is okay when dry, as of 5/2/04. On the left is the large slough with many flats, on the right a drainage ditch, and right at the end of the slough are many treed areas for other birding.
