CoBirders, please note that the driveway mentioned is private property that you would cross to access the area described, and the path referred to is actually a utility access , not a birding trail. Also parking there near Deer Creek is quite limited and there can be a lot of cars going through on “Buckhorn” (that section is *actually* Cougar Rd with Buckhorn a bit farther up - Joe the hot spot needs to be renamed). There is no easy public parking further up beyond the areas very close to Deer Creek, and I’m concerned about a rare bird raising concerns of the local residents if birders do not park wisely.
