All of these birds have been noted in latilongs 11 or 12 (see Colorado Bird Distribution Latilong Study). An asterisk (*) disignates those species rarely seen in the riparian habitat of the South Platte River. All the birds do not use the river corridor for the same kind of habitat nor at the same time of year. Some use the river during breeding season, some during non-breeding season. Some reside here during winter, some do not. Others visit only during their migration. Some birds are more common than others. These distinctions are not made in this study. More detailed information related to when the birds are here and for what reasons can be obtained from the organizations mentioned above, especially the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
