Badger Rd is a 1.6-mile-long gravel road with beautiful scenery, rolling fields and some wooded sections. It runs east-west and connects Natural Chimneys Rd and Rt 42. Badger Rd actually crosses Rt 42 and continues to Spring Hill Rd, but the best birding is found on the west side of Rt 42. At one point it crosses over a small stream. Red-headed Woodpeckers breed here and can be seen in the sections of open woods. Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, and Loggerhead Shrike have all been reported on this road occasionally while Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel are common, and Northern Harrier can occasionally be sighted. This is also a great place to see large flocks of sparrows, juncos, etc. Watch for flocks of Horned Lark and blackbirds in the surrounding fields.
