Hi Cindy

Weld CR 124 pond is 1-2 mile west of Hwy 77 (north of Briggsdale).  Nearby (south of 124) is Weld CR 122 and 75 where you can access Weld CR 122 pond to west.


Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn

Cindy,
Those ponds are named "Adams and Bunkers Reservoirs" and 
they are easy to find on the eBird hotspot map as:

"Pawnee National Grassland--Adams and Bunker Reservoirs"

It would be swell to swell the number of checklists attached to those birdy places.

Thanks so much both of you!
