I use mapquest myself but there are plenty of programs that work. It is tough though a lot of times peopel asume that you know places. I was able to find it by looking up the golf coarse and then using the golf course info to find the location. However I remember in the past posts about birding at 9 Mile Creek and having an extremely hard time finding it. I did google searches but most of the articles did not tell where 9 Mile Creek was. The posts did not even say what city it was in. Eventually after about 2 hours of internet research I found the location on maps. The thing that we can all learn is that the more info that we can give to others the more help we will be to one and other.
Thanks, Jeff Fischer http://ecobirder.blogspot.com/ PS I did send Richard directions on how I got there. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sharon Stiteler <birdch...@gmail.com> To: Richard Wood <rwoodphd at yahoo.com> Cc: Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 8:34:28 AM Subject: Re: [mou] Lake Hiawatha Yellow-Crowned Night Heron Google maps is pretty darned helpful when people give general locations and street intersections for birds, I use it quite a bit. It will even give you driving directions from your home.

I take 55 to 52 and then 94 every day on my way to work in Minneapolis, and I'd like to see this guy. Not that I am complaining, but it seems that everyone thinks everyone knows where every bird is that is seen in the state. Richard Richard L. Wood, Ph. D.

ID (even in dim light) was clear from thinner size, bill shape and darker color, darker color on the body with no larger whitish areas and the longer leg/foot extension in flight.
