Introduction: The second largest county in the state is also one of the least birded. This is truly unfortunate, as Moffat County has something to offer just about every birder, from grouse leks to great water and marsh birding, excellent mountains, great hikes, and even some decent migrant traps. Moffat County is also the only place in the state to find Ruffed Grouse, probably the most geographically limited and rarest breeding species in the state.
