Aliases:
Ownership: None Listed
Description: Not to be confused with the Fort Lyon State Wildlife Easement, this wildlife area is a westward continuation of the marsh at John Martin. If you could not find Black Rail at John Martin (unlikely during the right season), then this is another place where they occur. All of the species listed for the marsh at John Martin have been seen or heard here, with the exception of the rarities. Sparrow flocks sometimes occur around here in the winter, with White-throated and Harris's possible.

Habitat: Marsh, Grassland/Prairie

Directions: The Wildlife Area is a short distance west of the town of Ft. Lyon on the south side of CR HH.
