I stopped by Gilmore Ponds after work today. It has acres of mudflats
and shallow water. The only thing missing were the shorebirds. Maybe
morning would be a better time to visit? If you go I would park at the
Symmes Rd parking lot and walk back to the first viewing platform.
Firebird Wetlands is located at Firebird Ct next to 6200 Union Center
Blvd. This wetland has some ponds that are starting to dry out and held

minutes).
