[Tweeters] Chestnut-sided Warbler location instructions

[Cara Borre]

This area is privately owned, but the owner has been kind enough to allow
non-motorized recreation.  It's 1000+ acres and the parking area closest to
the warbler is around 13888 Hallstrom Dr. NW in Gig Harbor on the west side
of the road.  Park and walk around the gate.   Follow the main trail which
is large enough for a vehicle to drive on.  In about 0.3 miles another
vehicle-sized trail intersects the right side of the trail you are on.  You
may see an arrow made from branches on the ground at this intersection.  Go
right here and then make an immediate left onto a small side trail.   There
is a sign saying CSWA at the entrance to this foot trail.  Follow the foot
trail about  0.3- 0.5 miles until you either hear the CSWA singing or see
another sign I left where we found it.  If you go just a little farther
beyond that sign you will come out onto another large trail.  Its song is
key to finding it.  There are also MacGillivray's, Wilson's and other
warblers in this area, but the unique, and loud song of the Chestnut-sided
Warbler should help you locate it.  It was high in an alder with some bare
branches, but came lower to feed as well.

Good luck!
