Tips for Birding Pactola Reservoir
The visitor center on the eastern edge of the reservoir, which is open seasonally, is a good place to spot Bald Eagles, particularly in the Winter. The Campground on the western shore is a very good location for Gray Jay, Townsend's Solitare, and Dark-eyed Junco (White-winged ss.). Below the dam, accessible from a dirt road off of Route 385, the Centennial trail has some good birding below the dam. From an eBirder
