Indigo Buntings-Morrison-Jeffco

[Mike Henwood]

Between 6 and 6:30 this morning I had several singing Indigo Buntings just east of Morrison on the Soda Lakes Road.  We have observed breeding Indigo Buntings the past several years in this location.

Directions:  From C470 & Morrison Road, go west toward the town of Morrison.  Soda Lakes Road is on the south side of the road just opposite the Conoco Station.  Take the Soda Lakes Road a short distance to a small turnout on the right (parking lot).  From here I like to walk south along the road a short ways before crossing the fence so I can observe the riparian area below from above.  The Indigo Buntings can be found between the Soda Lakes Road and C470 on the south side of Bear Creek.
