17 · Green River Valley
River frontage, open fields, mixed forest
A big riverside property where the Green River comes out of its gorge: cottonwood river frontage, open farmland edges, and space to actually cover ground. Mergansers ride the current, swallows work the fields, and when the salmon come up in fall the eagles follow. The strongest pick in the valley when you want a longer wander rather than a single stakeout.
Song along the river corridor; swallows over the fields.
Merganser broods ride the riffles.
Salmon runs pull the eagles in.
Check the river seams and the field edges.
