Habitat: Cropland, Successional Oldfield.
Best birds: A small network of roads in this area offers a variety of birding opportunities. The area is great for viewing raptor migration in fall, especially looking north toward the agricultural field on Lade Beach Road east of County Road S. Open country birds including Northern Shrike, American Pipit, and Snow Bunting can be seen along the edges of the field in fall and sometimes winter. Rost Road offers a potential scan for migrating raptors as well but views are not quite as good. The end of Rost Road has good habitat for marshbirds including rails and Pied-billed Grebe. Check the old field habitat and woodlot edges for a variety of passerines including Golden-winged, Blue-winged, and Chestnut-sided Warbler, and the wetter shrubland for Alder Flycatcher and Veery. Drier woods have Black-billed Cuckoo and Least Flycatcher. Other species of breeding warblers, sparrows, and flycatchers are common in the mosaic of habitat.
Directions: 20 miles N of Green Bay. Exit US Highway 141 at the County Road S exit. Continue east and then northeast on County Road S until Lade Beach Road. The best raptor viewing location is here at the agricultural field. Rost Road is south of Lade Beach Road.
