Introduction: Like most of Colorado's central plains counties, Kit Carson is large, rectangular, and woefully underbirded. But in recent years birders have discovered the potential of the migrant traps at Flagler and Burlington, which make for a great spring or fall birding loop from Denver when included with Bonny Reservoir and Last Chance. Kit Carson has many other things to offer, from sought-after prairie species to seasonal pools with migrating shorebirds and waterbirds. This is a county sorely in need of increased birding coverage.
