Frenchman Creek State Wildlife Area

Spring and summer are the best times to visit this mostly dry creek bed, which is lined by sparse cottonwoods, chokecherry, and juniper. East meets west here; both Western and Eastern Kingbirds can be found in summer, and this is a good place to look for Baltimore and Bullock’s Orioles and their hybrids. Hunting occurs on this property, so be sure to check for seasonal restrictions before heading out.
