Re: [cobirds] Re: Recommendations for good migration locations between Denver & La Junta

Along the way there are some hotspots just a few minutes off the highway in Colorado Springs such as Kettle Lakes, Sinton Pond, Sondermann Park,Fountain Creek Regional Park or Big Johnson Reservoir that might be worth a stop depending on your time schedule.  Also, there is a lot of good birding in Pueblo - some popular spots are Mineral Palace park, City Park, and all around Lake Pueblo including the river down to the nature center, etc.

Hi Jan,

Bent's Old Fort National Historical Site is a favorite of mine. It's three dollars to go into the fort but the grounds are free to walk. There is a large marsh, and good cottonwoods. Along the same highway, 194 a side highway to 50, is Las Animas State Fish Hatchery with some ponds near it. One of the big areas is John Martin State Park, not far from La Junnta, Lake Hasty bellow the dam, is a good place there, but anywhere could be good. There is also the Higbee Cemetery. It's small but might have something. It's strait south of La Junta on Highway 109 of County Road 804. That is past County Rd 802, the turn for Vogal Canyon (sighed). So once you pass it get ready to turn right.

Good Luck,

 Brian Johnson,

Thanks!
