Fort Collins City Park/ Grandview Cemetery
Aliases: Grandview Cemetery, Sheldon Lake
Grandview Cemetery, which borders Fort Collins City Park, is a wonderful place to walk underneath a canopy of mature deciduous and evergreen trees. The cemetery is also a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary through the International Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP). Look for a popular pair of Great Horned Owls that nest here in most years, and keep your eye on the evergreens, which can attract Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Pine Siskin, and occasionally crossbill in winter. Rare migrants sometimes show up – most famously Colorado’s only Tropical Parula in the summer of 2005! Sheldon Lake, in the City Park, hosts waterfowl in winter.
