 I have received more requests for the same information than directions.  I 
only received one personal reply which I have quoted below.  Dennis Shepler 
also gave excellent directions which he posted to this list.  I still hope to 
hear from more of the people who have posted sightings to ebird to find out 
where they saw theirs.

On November 9, we were at Attwater P.C. NWR in the afternoon.  Toward the end 
of our visit, we stopped on the auto tour, past the bird blind on the long 
straight-away, to eat some lunch and watch a Northern Harrier.  At one point 
the NOHA swooped low and scared up two prairie chickens which disappeared back 
into the grasses after a short flight.  Pure luck that we happened to be 
watching for those few brief seconds.  I hope this helps.

Hi All,
 
I have been seeing ebird alerts from people seeing Attwater Prairie Chickens at 
Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR, but none of the reports I have seen include 
direction about where on the refuge the birds are being seen.  I don't know if 
the information was posted somewhere and I missed it, but could someone please 
send me directions on where to find these birds. They would be lifers for me.
 
Thanks,

PS.   I need detailed directions since all the maps I can find of the refuge do 
not include road names.
