Tips for Birding Hammerquist Road
Take your time, and explore the different habitats. At the two Creek crossings, you will find a variety of warblers during migration, possibly three different Oriole Specials, Blue and Black Headed Grosbeak, Indigo, Lazuli, and Lark Bunting, Dickcissel, Eastern and Western Kingbirds, Bell's Vireo, Yellow-breasted Chat, Brown Thrasher, and a wide variety of Sparrows. There is also a Great Blue Heron rookery that is visible from the road, which some years is more active than others. There always seems to be a surprise or two to be found. From an eBirder
