Ownership:
None Listed
Description:
This site offers over 100 acres of marsh, stream, and riverfront wildlife watching, a unique treat in southeastern Colorado. The riparian area along the Arkansas River tributary will catch migrants in the spring and fall, while marsh-dwelling species can be found year-round. The adjacent shortgrass prairie will round out this site's birding experience. This ranch is a remarkable addition to the birding potential of the greater John Martin Reservoir area, and its potential for migrants and rare winter visitors should vault it to the top of a serious birder's destination list.
Habitat:
Marsh, Lowland Riparian, Grassland/Prairie
