18. Eastside area. Bounded on west by NC 751 (from Archdale Drive/MLK to Chatham Co. line), south by Chatham Co. line, east by count circle. Include east side of 751. Notes:
22N. Stagecoach Road area. Bounded on north by NC 54, east by NC 751 (from 54 to Chatham Co. line), south by Chatham Co. line, west by Little Creek and Farrington Rd (1110). Notes: Much of this area is game lands. Good areas to check are the Stagecoach Road impoundment, the old railroad grade (just east of the Stagecoach impoundment) extending south from then southwest to Jordan Lake (2 miles one way), and the Southwest Durham Wastewater Plant on Farrington Road. The I-40 impoundment is on NC 751 north of I-40. Strategy for covering the area: (Brian Bockhahn) Owling - anywhere along Stagecoach Road is good for all three species. Dawn - from eastern impoundment parking I walk out to the dam gates, crepuscular ducks and Woodcock. AM - walk railroad grade trail 2+ miles south from Stagecoach to the lake. On return taking side trails east to a pond and two field areas. Noon - water treatment plant. PM - subdivision feeders along Farrington, farm along Stagecoach Road and new subdivision south side of Stagecoach. Walk railroad grade trail north from Stagecoach to small field about one mile. I40 impoundments. Dusk - return to dawn spot if need be.
