Cobirds:
Several people asked for a more complete list from Colorado
National Monument. Here it is. This is for July 18th and 19th.
Combines BLM adjoining Wilderness / Mee Canyon. Liberty Cap Trail is
good, as well as most of the trails adjoining any of the overlooks.

Turkey vulture - 14
Scrub jay - 12
Rock wren - 8

This was only a drive through. Usually on three day trips I'd
normally pick up peregrine falcon, black throated sparrow, pinyon jay,
gambels quail, chuckar, clarks nutcracker, green tailed towhee and
many others. - John T (Tumasonis)
