James M. Robb – Colorado River State Park, Island Acres Section
Colorado River State Park is one of the most wide-flung state parks in Colorado, and all of the sections have something to recommend them. This unit, the easternmost, is perhaps best known as a place to look for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. It is also, however, a good place to camp not far outside Grand Junction while watching the river for goodies like American Dipper, Bald Eagle, Canyon Wren on the canyon walls, and White-throated Swift, among a variety of other birds.
