No, it's south. Blumberg Road doesn't offer north, and you're coming from the north.
: In your directions don't you mean North "9.5 miles to Bloomberger Road (spelling?)then continue south 11 miles to the end.", rather than South. South seems to send you into water on my map?

: : Courtesy of Patricia Cunningham (Broward County Parks) I found a spot that I think may be relatively unknown to Miami birders. It featured thousands of coots, hundreds of ducks (mostly blue-winged teal, but others too), hundreds of peeps, several (mostly greater) yellowlegs, and three or four purple swamp hens. All this from one location at the extreme north end and I don't have a scope.
: : It's south of Clewiston, and is essentially the northernmost arm of the Rotenberger WMA. From South Bay go west on US 27 13.5 miles to CR 835 (DeLorme has it as 832). Go south 9.5 miles to Bloomberger Road (spelling?)then continue south 11 miles to the end. All but the last 2 miles are paved. It is also accessible from Government Road. This place is well known to hunters, who frequent it on Sundays. I have never seen so many ducks in South Florida at one time. There are also fields on the way, and this may be a good place for shorebirds in the summmer.
