Red Fox Meadows Natural Area

 After my short birding adventure in the Pawnee National Grasslands I headed west into Fort Collins. I decided to check out a natural area in town that I had never visited before: Red Fox Meadows. It is a stormwater detention site located in the heart of a residential area. Still, there was plenty of wildlife to be seen, including a deer that another visitor to the site thought might be injured.


With plenty of water in the natural area, it was a great place to observe waterfowl. I saw plenty of geese,


and ducks.



There were also great views off to Horsetooth Mountains and the west.


Just like Crow Valley Recreation Area which I had viisited earlier in the day, I felt this site would be worth returning to, particularly during migration.
