Looking for a place to see tons of birds with friends and family? Yeah, don’t go here. Looking for a location to patiently seek out eastern meadowlarks, bobolinks and other diminishing grassland dwellers? Then you’re in the right place! So, park your car onto the road’s shoulder, grab your binoculars and get your patience on. Steady Zen-like scanning of the grassland habitat will reveal surprises if you take your time. Be sure to take a break from looking down and scan the skies above, too. With zero tree cover, sunny days at this location provide an unobstructed view of raptors near and far soaring in the skies above.
