Overview: Crosswinds Marina is a good place to spend a few minutes checking in winter, when you can depend on seeing lots of gulls and other assorted birds resting on a breakwater. Though it was better in the past, when the breakwater was made of tires instead of concrete, it is still one of the best spots at Jordan for scanning for rare gulls. A Snow Bunting took up residence in the gravel parking lot for a few weeks one winter. Who knows when something else might show up?
Getting there: The marina is a short distance north of US 64 on Farrington Road (1008). It is well marked on the left, just before you get to the first bridge over the lake.
