Look for migrating ducks and shorebirds at this seldom visited reservoir in San Miguel County. The Don Noble State Wildlife Area hosts good numbers of waterbirds and raptors during fall. The reservoir is approximately an hour and forty-five minutes from Montrose so we’ll need an early start. For those coming from Montrose who want to carpool, meet at Gold’s Gym at the corner of Hillcrest and East Main Street in Montrose at 7:00 AM, at the Ridgway Visitor Center at the southwest corner of Highway 550 and Highway 62 at 7:30 AM, or at the first parking lot at the Don Noble State Wildlife area at 8:45 to 9 AM. We expect to wrap up birding around 1:00 PM, before heading home.
Be sure to dress in layers, and bring a lunch, snacks, water and a spotting scope if you have one.
