Burnt Mill Road area
Aliases: Red Creek Road West, Siloam Road, Three R Ranch Road, Phoebe Bridge
Description: This county road outside Pueblo passes through many of Southeast Colorado's habitats, including cholla grassland, shortgrass prairie, pinyon-juniper forest and Ponderosa Pine forest. The land is private, but birding from the road can be productive. Where the road crosses the Saint Charles River, Black and Eastern Phoebes have nested under the bridge. With luck, it is possible to see all three species of phoebes on this road!
Habitat: Lowland Riparian, Cholla, Pinyon-Juniper Forest, Ponderosa Forest
