About the event
Thanks to donations from Great Outdoors Colorado, the Gates Family Foundation, and many individual supporters, the area is now a prairie wildlife refuge. The property contains mature cottonwood riparian forests, high-quality wetlands, and a small black-tailed prairie dog colony.
The wetlands are freshwater ponds that stay full throughout the year, which support native fish and other aquatic wildlife and represent a critical resource for both migratory and resident waterfowl and passerine birds.
Habitat: Prairie and riparian
Possible birds:
Wild Turkey
Red-headed Woodpecker
