Cogan House Area
| Lycoming |
| DESCRIPTION: This agricultural area situated in the northern mountains attracts wintering field birds such as Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur. Look for recently manured fields. The area is also good for Rough-legged Hawk and other wintering raptors. Driving the 15-mile loop described below will take you through the best areas to look for these species, but exploring other roads in the area can be worthwhile, also. |
