On 21 May 2011, Cole Wild and I birded from Denver to Grand Junction along I70, camped overnight near the Utah border at Rabbit Valley campground. Then on 22 May 2011, we birded our way back to Larimer County via Rifle, Meeker, Craig, Steamboat Springs and Walden. Highlights follow:
May 21 Georgetown (Clear Creek County): Rufous-collared Sparrow.. I asked it point blank how it got there. It responded with a beautifully sung story, but unfortunately it was in a language I did not understand. Dillon neighborhood (Summit County): White-winged Crossbill – 1 f. Eagle Rest Area (Eagle County): Summer Tanager female (photographed) Colorado National Monument (Mesa County): Struck out on Black-chinned Sparrow(s). May 22 Colorado National Monument: Struck out again on Black-chinned Sparrow Meeker (Rio Blanco County): Bobolink – 2 m. in grass fields south of town on west side of Hwy 13 North of Meeker, near turnoff to Rangley: Hybrid Ring-necked Duck x Tufted (?) Duck (see photos at link below) Photos of some of these as well as some expected species at http://www.pbase.com/quetzal/westcomay2011.
