Sweitzer Lake State Park
This small, reed-edged reservoir can be good for waterfowl of all types, including grebes and the occasional loon. The shrubby habitat on the periphery of the lake contains Gambel’s Quail, and can be good for sparrows, including Sage, during migration. The trees around the entrance station should be checked for migrants. For the dragonfly enthusiast this is an excellent place to check out the local species, which include the impressive eight-spotted skimmer.
