Hey birders,

I wrapped up the final entry from the weekend at www.douglascountybirding.blogspot.com<http://www.douglascountybirding.blogspot.com>. This one covered a good morning of birding at Big Bend Wildlife Area. This is in the Northeast corner of the county, and was established recently enough that it doesn't even show up on Google Maps, as far as I know. I had good luck with grouse up there (ruffed and dusky) but not the grouse I was hoping for (Sharp-tailed)! The search was fun, and it's really an amazing area - I hardly got very far in from either of two entrances, and still found 50 species or so, including 5 new ones for my year list. If you are trying to find this place, try a plain old Google Search, rather than Maps, and do let me know if you want any other information on this spot - it's pretty special.

Cheers!
