Van Landingham Ranch
Description: The Van Landingham Ranch, located just south of La Junta, offers birding opportunities on shortgrass prairie and is bisected by an arroyo and limestone bluffs with scattered junipers. The east end of the ranch comprises a hillside with vast prairie views providing a perch from which to scan the black-tailed prairie-dog colony for Burrowing Owls and other shortgrass specialists. Please contact the landowner before planning a visit at (719) 384-2942 or dianev@arkvi.com .
