Burchfield State Wildlife Area
Remote and little visited, this spot has the potential to be a first-class migrant trap. Tall cottonwood groves and a dense willow understory define this location. There is also some good brush along the small creek, and a small pond. This is a good spot to find Red-bellied Woodpecker. White-tailed deer, rabbits and foxes take shelter here in the only cover for miles in any direction.
