This road passes through farmland for the most part with two small farm ponds that attract the occasional wader such as Great Blue Heron and Great Egret. In the fall of 2019 a new irrigation system caused a large puddle to form in one of the fields which attracted a good number of shorebirds including Red-necked Phalarope and Baird’s Sandpiper. It is unclear at this point if this was a one time event or if it may be repeated in future years. The road is also a good place to look for sparrows and other passerines associated with more open habitats.
Accessibility: This fairly short road has little traffic and is safe to pull over and bird in most spots. Keep in mind that all the land along this road is privately owned so do not leave the road.
