We arrived in Mio on July 9, too late for the tours, and had to try for it on our own. We were able to drive on dirt (actually sand) roads through Jack Pine habitat, without violating any "No Trespassing" areas that lined the roads. We were luck enough to find a singing Kirtland's Warbler in about 20 minutes or so. We were there on a Sunday, so the FWS(?) office in town was closed, but they would probably give you some suggestions if you ask them. Steve, call me for more details. Do it before Monday as Nancy and I will be away for a while after Sunday. Elliot Kirschbaum Baltimore, MD USA mailto:ekirschb@bcpl.net
