Hi All, I recently moved to the Denver area and was hoping you might be willing to bestow me some of your Colorado birding wisdom! Hailing from the puny state of Massachusetts, I'm overwhelmed by the vast number of counties, elevational gradients, and the different habitat - species nuances.
So, I'm reaching out because I'm hoping to learn 1) what is the current authoritative guide for birding in Colorado? Basically I'm interested in recommendations for books that detail the different regions, habitat types, and what the best way is to locate different specialties or local spectacles. And 2), is there a book that goes into the geologic history of the greater Colorado region? What I'm referring to is a book that explains the different geological features that are characteristic of this area, how that relates to different habitat types, and the ways these geologic feature - habitat relationships came to exist. ANY info or recommendations are hugely appreciated! Also, If anybody is interested in birding the greater Denver area or wants to carpool to 'twitch' a rarity please get in touch! Thanks in advance, and I hope to meet some of you in the future All the best, Ben Lagasse Littleton, CO... formerly Orleans, MA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
