Introduction: Phillips County has the dubious distinction of having the least native vegetation of any county in Colorado--only three percent. Nonetheless, it can be a rewarding county to bird. Migrants and Mississippi Kites can be found in the towns, and there is some good habitat for grassland birds. If you like a county-listing challenge, this county's for you!
