Chico cattle update El Paso/Pueblo Counties

[linda hodges]

Greetings, birders,

If you're headed to Chico Basin Ranch in the next 2 weeks, please be aware that cattle will be pastured in an area including the Banding Station parking area.

The cattle will move out of the way if you drive slowly toward them, and they won't harm you, but if you're nervous around them, you may drive through the gate on the north side of the Banding Station area and park near the banding station.

Remember that we're limited to parking in only 3 locations: the Banding Station, HQ pond (please do NOT drive into the HQ parking area, but continue south and park in the grass near the pond), and Rose Pond (further south on the main road). Please do not drive to any other area of the ranch.

We are working on getting additional signage up to help guide birders.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
