Curls Road

Drive very slowly. This is one of the best birding sites in the area but is not well known and therefore not heavily traveled. Look for Eastern Loggerhead Shrike, Eastern Bluebird, Upland Sandpiper, Common Nighthawk and various sparrows and warblers. The open fields offer alvar flora including Balsam Ragwort, Harebell, Prairie Smoke, Indian Paintbrush and Hairy Beardtongue.
