"Obviously no longer open. No birds in sight! Just a very rundown building and so much overgrowth that you could not make out any paths."

"Great Birding spot. If you are looking to see endemic bird species, this is the place. The well mark trail are the best spot to see the Grenada Dove, one of the most endangered species in the world. Among other endemic species bird here. If you just like to hike in nature this is a good place."
Julio A. Salgado Velez
"I simply loved it. Went with a group of students at school... First time I have been... I love exploring so I went exploring for birds and the lay of the land... looking at the terrain etc. Noticed lots of sea grass which is not a common occurrence on many of our beaches
Anyway, just relaxed as that was the main focus of my visit and to be able to write a few verses if the opportunity permitted..."
