Lowry Pueblo
Part of Canyon of the Ancients National Monument, this well preserved and partially restored Native American Ruin is an excellent place to bring the family while birding in pinyon-juniper woodland. The forest surrounding the ruins is excellent for species such as Gray and Plumbeous Vireos, Black-throated Gray Warbler, Gray Flycatcher, and Pinyon Jay. Lizards and snakes abound, and in the early spring a number of butterfly species are possible.
