Hey Tweets,
One of the reports said they were birding at the Monroe prison dairy farm
off of Hwy. 2.
The Monroe Prison Dairy cannot be seen from Hwy. 2. It's nowhere near Hwy.
2. It's right off of Hwy 203 between Duvall and Monroe. I don't know if
they are referring to some place else off of Hwy. 2 or not. But I bird that
area and live there too. So I know where the prison dairy farm is--drive
past it everyday on the way home from work.
