Veltus Park

Aliases: Glenwood Springs

This small park is one of the best near Glenwood, and a good spot to check if you have a little bit of time in town. Lewis’s Woodpecker is semi-reliable here, and the river can be quite good for American Dipper, especially during the winter months. Look in the riparian habitat for various breeding birds during the summer, and sparrows during the winter months.
