Tips for birding Logan's Crossing/East Rio
This spot has produced a number of rare birds over the years, and can be good birding at any season. Because it is in open pinyon-juniper woodland and can get rather hot, however, it is best to bird it in the morning. Marsh birds and migrants occupy the wetland and riparian vegetation, while a variety of pine and juniper species can be found in the surrounding area. Migrants and wintering species can be abundant, and the riparian corridor offers an excellent opportunity to observe flocks of migrants streaming by. This is a good place to find species normally found at lower elevations, such as Phainopepla and Black-throated Sparrow. NOTE: the site can be hard to find! Heading east along Townsend-Winona Rd, the turnoff is just after a long guard-rail. Once you're on the dirt road, just keep taking left forks until you reach the stream.
