Introduction: Most famous as the home of resort town Vail, Eagle County is also home to every West Slope habitat from redrock cliffs to sagebrush flats to spruce-fir, krummholz and tundra. Most birders drive through it on their way east or west, but Eagle County is good evidence that the middle's a great destination in itself.
