Hi Cobirds, There is still space available for the CFO field trip to Lamar and Two Buttes on May 1st-3rd. We will visit 'hot' spots in Lamar, the Rocking 7K and Taylor ranches (both private), Turk's Pond and Two Buttes SWAs and other migrant traps. Mountain Plovers and Burrowing Owls are already on territory at the ranches and a Golden Eagle has established a nest. The low water level at Turk's Pond should produce good shorebird viewing. We expect to see many species of 'eastern' migrants as they travel through eastern Colorado to their breeding grounds further north. These locations are always good for shorebirds, vireos, warblers and orioles among others and early May is prime time. Jim Beatty is the trip leader. For more details contact me at [email protected] or call 970-385-0184.
This trip starts on Friday May 1st in Lamar and ends Sunday May 3rd about noon and includes two nights lodging at the ranches, five home-cooked meals (Friday supper through Sunday breakfast), and entrance fees to the private ranches. The price for this trip is $170 per person and $150 per person for couples. An added bonus of the ranch 'experience' is their local history and the warm hospitality of our hosts. A Habitat Stamp is required.
