Hi Colorado Birders, I may have an opportunity to tack on some birding during a business trip to Grand Junction later this month and looking for any advice on finding Black Rosy-Finch or Sharp-tailed Grouse. I have searched ebird records and recent posts as a starting point, but would really appreciate any additional local knowledge that anyone may be willing to share. Here is what I have gleaned so far:
Black Rosy-Finch -has not been reported in the vicinity of Grand Junction on ebird this year, but many sightings in previous years. -Wildernest (Summit County) looks like a fairly reliable location with some recent sightings. -Also some recent sightings near Telluride. -Any reliable locations that are closer to Grand Junction? Sharp-tailed Grouse -Looks like Steamboat Springs (Routt) was a good place to look in previous years, but no reports from this year. Is it still worth a try? -Pawnee National Grassland is probably farther than I am willing to go on this trip. Thanks in advance for any replies!
