New Birding Spot and the "Other" Walmart Pond/Fort Collins-area

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

There is a great dabbler viewing pond on Hwy 287/College Ave between Fort Collins and Loveland.  It is just before the Walmart and adjacent to the BBQ restaurant there.  It seems to have loads of birds every time I drive by it.  It was chockful of dabblers today.  The sun is behind your back, there is a pull off for 2-3 cars right there, your close(viewing range) and the ducks don't mind the company.  Great place to study up close.

• Northern Shoveler
• Northern Pintail
• Gadwall
• American Wigeon
• Green-winged Teal
• American Coot

The "new" birding spot (relatively) is the Rigden Storage Reservoir Project--a very large reservoir.  Follow Horsetooth Road all the way east until just before Arapaho Bend Natural Area turn south--reservoir on north.  Looks like great spot for birds once it is found--keep an eyeball out this fall.

• Ring-billed Gull
• Ruddy Duck

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
