Birds
at the Rawhide Energy Station - Ryder Reports
Since 1986,
Dr. Ronald A. Ryder, Professor Emeritus of Wildlife Biology,
Colorado State University, has conducted an ongoing study of bird
populations
using the Rawhide Energy Station site. His objective is to
document, by species and population numbers, birds frequenting
Hamilton Reservoir
at Rawhide and the adjacent wetland. He also determines peaks
of migration, routes, places of breeding, and wintering areas for
the more abundant species.

species of waterbirds. Banded birds have been recovered from such
distances as Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Canada; Sinaloa,
Guadalajara and Jalisco, in Mexico; and Alaska, Missouri, Ohio, California,
Louisiana, and Mississippi in the U. S.
