Divide Creek Reservoir

It may not look like much, but this tiny reservoir is some of the only water in this dusty corner of Colorado, and when there actually is water in it, it can be quite the oasis. Various species of ducks (both divers and dabblers), shorebirds (when the water level is right for mudflats), and riparian species (such as Yellow-breasted Chat and Lazuli Bunting) are possible. The drive in passes through extensive sage habitat, and Greater Sage-Grouse are sometimes seen here.
