I go there a lot. Those signs are to keep people out of the actual fenced in areas only. You can still drive through to the pond.

Diane, have you been there recently. Two weeks ago there were brand new 'posted' signs at the entrance to the corral.

He is a really great guy at Stewart's Pond, who leases the property. I have spoken to him a few times in a friendly conversation. I know others have as well. He allows birders to go into the cattle area, warning mother cows are protective of the calves.

Hi all

I'd like to ask about access to Stewart's Pond. I've heard from and seen multiple occasions folks and cars beyond the corral area to view Stewart's Pond. Does anyone have the definitive answer that the landowner is okay with birders on their property? Each time I go near I'm hoping to see someone working there to ask and confirm for myself we have permission.

Frankly, I don't blame him. Years ago, when my house was the only one on my road, both birders and hunters would drive down my long driveway looking for birds or game. It's perhaps ironic, but the hunters were the ones who would come to the door asking for permission to be on my land. Birders did not. They drove on my horse pasture, opened gates they had no business opening, and smashed a pipe that delivered water from my well to the horses' water tank. Please be respectful of other people and their property.

All Birders,
The other day I was picking around in the grass at roadside trying to figure out what 3 Long-billed Curlews might be eating when a pickup came down a long drive across the way and stopped next to me.  The man, Scott, was highly agitated at me and all birders.  He initially blamed us for a long litany of offenses including getting him and his PTSD flared up, causing his dogs to bark, littering that occurs every week of the year especially during Cheyenne Frontier Days, setting fires, cutting his fences, hunting on his land, trespassing on the road that may or may not be private but that he considers private and more.  Suffice it to say this man, who I think is probably a pretty nice guy under his Marine Corps hat, is armed and not to be messed with.  The location is a little spur road between CR5 and I-25 that goes north from Larimer CR92.  This road goes about a mile and ends at a closed gate which leads to the City of Fort Collins solid waste treatment plant for use on the Meadow Springs Ranch.  Scott lives up on the hill to the east of this road in the only house at the end of a long driveway.  After a long chat during which he calmed down considerably, he said it was OK for me to look at the curlews but that he would just like to know who is coming up his road and when.  He gave me his phone that could be used for text messaging (970/568-6434).  I know a few Larimer folks who go up that road all the way to the gate looking north for longspurs, etc. on a regular basis.  The ill-will this might cause is not worth a tick mark on a checklist.  Either call Scott in advance or go elsewhere.  Be advised.
