Fence Posts and Gravel Roads, Part 1

Sign at the south end of the Harrold Gravel

I love to look for birds along gravel roads. You can slow down, take your time, and even stop once in a while. One of the best things about gravel roads is that the fence posts are much closer to the road. This gives you the chance for a close-up look at some interesting birds. In the next few days I am going to share some of my favorite gravel roads and the birds I have found there on fence posts. First is the Harrold Gravel, an 18 mile road that stretches from state highway 34 to the town of Harrold on U.S. Highway 14.
