Pueblo West
Aliases: Turkey Creek State Wildlife Area
Pueblo West is a sprawling suburb of Pueblo. Driving the residential roads gives you a good chance of finding coveys of Scaled Quail scurrying between the cholla patches, and with some luck, you might find Curve-billed Thrasher. Keep an eye out for various songbirds, Greater Roadrunner, Burrowing Owl, Ferruginous Hawk, Lark Bunting and raptors. Most of the birding here is done from the road; please be respectful of the owners when searching for birds in people’s yards.
