Once I finally got here I was in love -- I would have like to do two turns around the lake. But alas I had a schedule to keep -- I first drove around Lake Cochise took @1.25 hours and then on to the Twin Lakes -- they were less full of birds, but the foliage and reeds had lots of birds in them. Excellent for Car birding -- I did not walk at all, fully accessible. This is one place where a Scope might have been helpful -- the lake is wide enough to need optics to see across.
