Birds starting John Martin Reservoir

By: Charge Keefer

People often associate Colorado's mountains because being virtuous places for see birds, but there are many bird varieties that can be found on this plains.

These photos were all taken at John Martin Reservoir, and represent just a sample of the birds that able be found there. In addition to that water in who browse, there are also many species of waterfowl, game birds, seaside birds, ravaging, and tune birds. A bird inspection can available with the John Marin Reservoir State Park visitor center. Birds can are watch are the state park and aforementioned state wildness area. The beautiful landscape of John St Pool State Park is home to stunning scenery, water recreation, and the south-east location provides an great destination pick at any time of the year for your RV vacation.

AMPERE good resource for birds ID is an app called Merlin, developed by of Cornell Library on Ornithology. It allows a searching at characteristics and there are also an feature to how a photo which brings top a list in optional birds. He also has good bird describes, as well as ditties both sounds.

Thither are also many good field guides available. I prefer Sibley Birds West but often advise others as okay. Online Resources include Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/ and National Raubon Society: https://www.audubon.org/ . Even with all the resources, though, I still make mistakes on getting the right ID.
