Hi Colorado birders, I'm a young birder from Dallas, TX, and I'll be vacationing with my family in SW Colorado the last two weeks in June. I'll be staying in Mancos and taking day trips, possibly a few overnight trips as well. I've been birding in Colorado before, but there are a few SW species that have evaded me that I would really like to see this time around. The list includes:
Northern Goshawk Ferruginous Hawk Ring-necked Pheasant Gunnison Sage-Grouse White-tailed Ptarmigan Virginia Rail Owls (except Great Horned) Common Poorwill Lewis's Woodpecker Williamson's Sapsucker Sage Sparrow Black-chinned Sparrow Brown-capped Rosy-Finch Bobolink Evening Grosbeak Pine Grosbeak Any info you guys could give on locations to find these birds would be very helpful! I've been browsing CFO's county birding site but I would appreciate real-time data as well. I know a lot of these birds are hard to find though :-) We'll drive up through the TX panhandle, cut the corner of NM, and enter Colorado at Raton Pass then drive through the southern part of the state- so if some of my targets are in the eastern part of the state I might be able to stop and get them if they are near the main highway. Thanks for whatever you can tell me, and good birding!
