There are 2 Golden Eagle fledglings!

I checked the Golden Eagle nest I have been watching to see if the fledgling was still around as the last time I checked about 10 days ago I didn't see it. I was delighted to find not just one but two juvenile Golden Eagles perched on the nest! I had only seen one bird in the nest the last several times I checked so I thought that only one had survived (not uncommon for one to starve to death or die from siblicide especially when food supplies are shor. So this is great.

Why bird southeast Colorado?

From our high montane areas to the riparian areas along the Arkansas River as it exits Colorado, southeast Colorado offers birding opportunities for beginners to those serious birders who seek out the less common species. We have great shortgrass and sandsage prairie birding including public areas on the Comanche National Grasslands. We have wetlands including playa lakes (playas are important shallow, depressional wetlands that provide essential habitat for waterfowl and many other bird species). We have small lakes (such as Lake Cheraw north of La Junta)and large lakes (such as John Martin Reservoir that encompasses 35 square miles) that host an impressive diversity of bird species. And we have large expanses of pinyon-juniper woodlands with their special birding opportunities.
