Hunsaker Road Pond is a privately owned pond, and is best viewed from the ample road shoulder. Black-necked Stilt have nested here in recent years. Other shorebirds occur during spring migration. Great Egret is a regular visitor whenever water is present. By late summer, the pond is usually dry, so this site is of seasonal interest only. The fields around Hunsaker Rd are also worth a scan; in winter look for Northern Shrike and Short-eared Owl.
