Arapaho Bend Natural Area
Yesterday, I went searching for a rare Colorado species - the Indigo Bunting! There have been e-Bird reports of the bird hanging out at this wonderful natural area, and I thought I would try my luck to find it. I was able to see and hear it quite well, then enjoyed a quick hike along the Cache La Poudre river to find some other summer birds!
See the e-Bird list here
