You may consider doing two checklists one for the first 4-5 miles and one for the area past the Espy Ranch gate. The habitat on the back half is slightly different than the front. The first section is grassy, scrubby habitat on an open prairie with very little vegetation higher than 6-7 feet. The back section has 2 creek crossings with water on wet years. The road ends in a deep canyon at the gate of the Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch. The prairie section is incredible for sparrows for all seasons. Scaled Quail, Greater Roadrunners, Hawks, falcons, and eagles. You will pass through a ranch area that is good for Yellow-headed Blackbirds and possibly Bronzed Cowbird. As you get closer to the mountains be on the lookout in the summer for Varied Bunting, Bullock's Oriole and Black-chinned Sparrow. The canyon is good for Black-chinned as well as Canyon Wren. Look high for possible White-throated Swift and Violet-green Swallow.

Ranch Road 1832 is a nine mile paved easement to the Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch. Entrance into the Scout Ranch is forbidden without permission. Please remain on the road as much as possible. Do not venture off of it, as the locals are not friendly to this. There is a ranch you will drive by four and a half miles in. It's okay to drive on past this ranch to the Boy Scout Ranch.
