If so, info about Howland Island is on pages 130-131. You have to walk at HI. No driving. enter either from Rt 38 north of Port Byron - 1.8 miles, turn left on Howland Island Road, go 2 miles to the end of the road. park & walk across the iron Bridge and then start walking in the island. OR from Savannah go north on Route 89 and turn right immediately on Savanna Spring Lake Road. Go 2.2 miles to Carncoss Road. Turn right and go half mile to the end of the road where the bridge is. Cross bridge, drive a short way to parking lot at end of public road. However - I have heard that the bridge & the road immediately after it to the parking area there has been flooded. I don’t know if it still is or not. So rt 38 way is probably best to do. Let me know if you have the basin guide. If not, i can type the suggested walking directions (3 mile loop from iron bridge).

Are there specific routes that are better for birders? Do you recommend a driving loop or walking? Thanks for any insights you can offer.
