I'm writing this blog entry from the hotel where we are staying. Today we left for LA at around 8 a.m. and arrived around 3. When we got here we went to the Grassy Lake WMA, but it took us a fair amount of time to locate the WMA because the directions were vague and it was not marked with a sign! When we did get in to the park we turned left on the road, which was a mistake. That area was patchy scrub forest no good for the IBWO. But we turned around and went the other way a found a great forest. The trees seemed to get bigger the farther in we went, one area had massive trees, which we will explore more tomorrow. We also found a good lake (no suprise.)
The forest is great habitat. Trees include various Oaks, Honey Locust, Sycamore, etc. The WMA is connected to the forest of the "Project Coyote" search, the overall forest is huge. Plenty of room for at least a few pairs of Ivory-Bills.
We saw a few interesting birds too. Like Painted Buntings and Ibis.
