Location
This is the junction of Hwys 78 and 95. It is located 45 miles west of Jordan Valley and about 92 miles SE of Burns.
DirectionsHabitat and Birds
There is little to see at the junction itself and, as of 2009, there were no services at this location. It’s worth a short check in the area to see if the odd grackle or White-winged Dove or a Band-tailed Pigeon might be present (It’s happened before). Other rarities here have included Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and Bewick’s Wren. It’s even possible that a pair of Northern Mockingbirds tried to breed here in 1991.
