Box Springs
Box Springs consists of a very small pond surrounded by only a couple of trees, but it is private property on all sides. This location so isolated that it frequently attracts great birds. Look for ducks, Black-crowned Night-Herons, and the occasional migrant warbler in the cottonwoods. If you’re lucky, you might see a rail or a bittern, or you might discover a Mountain Plover on the surrounding plains.
