I went to the main unit of the Clay WMA to look for Grouse. I did not get any
today, but they are probably there. I have GPS locations for where they are
supposed to be, but I did not have a portable GPS to take with me. Looks like
they will be off the trail in dense undergrowth, which I did not attempt today.
It will be around a 4-5 hike and then a lot of bushwacking if you want to try
for them. Contact me if you want a copy of the map.
I did manage 31 species there today (3/25), and heard a lot of ping pong balls
dropping and there was a lot of tea being pushed. Best bird was probably the
Winter Wrens.
