Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site
The monument is considered a meeting ground of two cultures between the Navajo and the settlers who came to the area to trade.
Ravens are year round residents, but are joined by a variety of other birds when spring rolls around; robins, sparrows, Say’s phoebes, flickers and hummingbirds. Raucous Pinyon Jays shatter the morning peace as they flock in the fall. In recent years, white-faced ibises have stopped at Hubbell for several weeks at a time during their spring migration to the Great Plains. Lewis’s woodpeckers make their home among Hubbell’s cottonwood tree snags. A pair of Kestrels return to Hubbell every year to nest. The Pueblo Colorado Wash increasingly attracts a variety of waterfowl such as Great Blue Herons, mallards, and American coots.
