| DESCRIPTION: Cotton Road is the only place in Lawrence County to find Cliff Swallow. Look for their nests on some of the barns. Upland Sandpiper had been found with young on Heather Heights and Cotton Road for two decades but they have not been seen for several years. Shorebirds can be found in the wet fields and at some puddles in the plowed fields in spring. |
DIRECTIONS: To get to the Amish Area in Wilmington Township, from the intersection of PA 18 and PA 158 (about 6 miles north of New Castle) go north on PA 18 for 2 miles and turn left (west) onto Heather Heights Road. Go 1.4 miles down Heather Heights to the spring fed pond on the right. Look for as many as a dozen Wilson's Snipe around the pond or in the little run across the road, especially in winter. Continue 0.7 mile down Heather Heights Road to the Cotton Road intersection and turn left (south). Look in manured fields along this road for Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur in winter. Continue south on Cotton Road for 1.25 miles and turn left (east) on Cranberry Road. Go 1.5 miles and turn right (east) on Yoder Road which returns to PA 18 after 0.8 mile. Look for Red-headed Woodpecker on Cranberry and Yoder Roads. |
