A bird flew into a La Plata Electric Association substation Monday afternoon, knocking out power to 626 customer, including the Durango-La Plata County Airport.
The power went out at 3:38 p.m.
LPEA crews restored power to the airport and some surrounding customers at 4:32 p.m. Power was restored to the remaining customers by 5:15 p.m.
The curious little bird did not survive.
