Colorado Birders,
I will be in Denver on business in early November and have carved out two full
days for birding. I have a target list of birds below. I know I won’t get
them all, but would like to maximize the chance to see as many as possible. I
will have a car.
Where would be the best places to go birding those two days to have a chance to
see as many of these as possible? I was going to use one day to go up to
Allenspark and hit Fawn Brook Inn and the area and then on up to RMNP. Does
that sound like a good plan? Any specific places in RMNP that are good? Are
there any burns from the past few years that are accessible and have AMTT? (I
saw a recent post on AMTT at Anemone Hill; the hike might be more than we’d be
up to). Where else would be good birding?
The Rosy-Finches and Ptarmigan would be at the top of our list.
Any advice most appreciated. Three years ago I had a similar opportunity and
asked for advice on this same list and received some excellent suggestions and
added 30 birds to my (at the time nascent) life list as a result.
