Crystal Springs Ranch (Kit Carson County) Field Trip with a possible extension to Bonny Reservoir - May 16th (& 17th)
This trip combines a new location in Kit Carson County with a possible extension to Bonny Reservoir in Yuma County. The Crystal Springs Ranch is very promising habitat as a spring migrant trap and is immediately north of Flagler SWA. Last fall Nathan Pieplow led a very successful trip there in early October. There are two good-sized ponds on the ranch with large cottonwoods including other hardwoods and a medium-sized marsh with cattails plus upland habitat. Flagler SWA and other Kit Carson locations will also be visited. Mid-May should be an excellent time for migrants at these eastern Colorado "hot spots." There is a $10 per person fee for Crystal Springs Ranch. A Habitat Stamp is required for this trip. A decision on the Bonny Reservoir extension will be made later. For those who might be interested in continuing to Bonny, either with the extension or on their own, lodging is available at the Klassen Ranch, for $75 per night for a three bedroom guest house, which is situated about half way between these two locations.
