Bird Checklists of the United States
Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge
Maybell, Colorado
The birds of this area are characterized by pinyon-juniper associates, marsh associates, riparian associates and semi-desert shrubland associates, with a smattering of grassland, cliff/rock, and generalist species thrown in for good measure. Since significant amounts of marsh habitat are scarce outside of the refuge, a number of waterbirds are found here, but not for many miles around.
