Don,
Yes, you were at the wrong pond, but the right farm. I had the
same problem when I first heard about the "Harney Road Ponds". It was
years before I discovered that the good pond was actually off Bullfrog
Road north of Harney Road. In fact the service road you were on
continues through part of the farm around to the other pond, but it is
easier to access from Bullfrog Road. Continue west on Harney Road to the
sign that says Mason-Dixon and turn right on this road which has its sign
missing. It is Bullfrog Road. Go north until you see a dirt road on the
right. Take this. It curves around to the left and brings you beside
the good pond. Park off the road. There is a lot of heavy truck
traffic. Walk up slowly onto the dike. The birds can be very close and
you can get great views.
