*FRIGATEBIRD
A FRIGATEBIRD, presumed to be a MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD, was seen at Eagle
Creek Park AT 6:20PM Indianapolis time. It was near Rick's Café and flew
north toward the causeway. This bird is, most likely, compliments of
Hurricane Katrina. Additional information will be posted as it becomes
available.

Eagle Creek Park and Eagle Creek Reservoir are located just outside of the
I-465 loop on Indianapolis's northwest side.
The park can be entered from the south at the 56th Street Entrance (South
Gate). Eagle Creek Parkway is the main road running north-south through the
park, with the reservoir lying just to the west of it. The principle road
running east-west through the middle of the park is 62nd Street. Upon
entering, one should obtain a park map.
Rick's Cafe Boatyard is on the southern end of the reservoir near the dam.
To reach this site from the 56th Street park entrance, turn left (east) onto
56th Street for a few hundred feet, then turn right (south) onto Reed Road.
At the "T" intersection of Reed Road with 46th Street, turn right onto 46th
Street, which curves around and becomes Dandy Trail. Rick's Cafe Boatyard is
the large restaurant/marina on the right side of Dandy Trail before it
intersects with 38th Street.
