Two Bar Road and Kings Creek Road

Map

     

     These two roads are along Hwy 9, 1.4 and 2.2 miles north of Hwy 236 at Boulder Creek, respectively. They are birdy, but have been scarcely birded. Each first passes through an area with a number of residences, but dwellings soon thin out, and both these roads eventually become well-maintained, unpaved roads bordered by natural habitat. Both roads offer access to mixed evergreen forest, redwood forest, oak woodland, and deciduous riparian forest, with the variety of species typical of such habitats. A shrewd combination of parking and walking seems most promising here. American Dipper and Common Merganser occur along Kings Creek. The section of Kings Creek Rd beginning just past the first bridge offers especially pleasant birding.
