We were at Loloff Reservoir yesterday, Saturday July 24, in a couple of locations along the road to the east, watching birds from the car. A man who lives in the house on CR 57 on the west side drove over and wanted to know what we were doing. He wasn't happy that people came out there and "looked into his windows". Assured him we were just there to look at birds and talked for a few minutes. He gave the name of the landowner on that side of the road and said they preferred to restrict access on that side too.
I've been out there many times and never had a problem. Did not go on the east side because Gary indicated that the oil and gas pad "trailhead lookout" along CR 57 had been fenced off, and all the birds happened to be closer to the east side.
I just wondered if anyone else had experienced a problem.
Thanks,
Linda Martin
