Walden Reservoir - Jackson County
Aliases:
Ownership: None Listed
Description: This lake typically stands head and shoulders above the other lakes in the county with regards to bird numbers and variety. Walden usually has a little of everything: dabblers, divers, shorebirds, larids, and waders. It has produced a summer record of Little Gull, and fall shorebird surveys have thrice turned up Short-billed Dowitcher. Birds such as American White Pelican, Black Tern, and Franklin's and California Gulls breed nowhere else, or nearly nowhere else, in the state.

Habitat: Pond/Lake/Reservoir, Sagebrush
Elevation:
Directions: From the intersection of CR 12W and CO 125 just south of Walden, go west on CR 12W and take the first right onto CR 15. The lake can be scanned from various points along CR 15. There are also some small ponds along CR 12W both east and west of the intersection with CR 15.
