Holly area
Aliases: Arkansas River State Wildlife Area, Hammit State Wildlife Area,
Holly is a charming town that provides good habitat for birds. Gateway Park, on the north side of Highway 50 in town, has many mature deciduous shade trees that can attract migrating warblers and other landbirds. The Holly cemetery northeast of town can also be good for migrants, and sometimes Great Horned Owls can be seen. Three miles east of town is a little rest area along the highway that has a nice combination of trees and brush, where any kind of bird could show up.
