Greg P (from state of PA) reports:

"We did find at least 3 of them (Chestnut-collared Longspur) on Weld
45 about a mile south of 122, mixed in with a couple McCowns. This was
enormously satisfying."

"We also were able to find a pair of Mountain plovers today, outside
the official Pawnee boundary, on Weld 100 east of Weld 89 just east of
a farmhouse that had 6 large gold-colored containers across the
street. I didn't think Mountain Plovers were going to be possible for
us. Our second lifers today"

Hi Gary,
I was out the Nunn way yesterday and wanted to explore the Nunn Woods.
But I did not find any entry from the road on the north side.
Is there any public access?
