Colorado still has about a dozen BBS routes that need observers. Our roster has
137 routes -- more than any other states except Calif & TX. We encourage you to
pick up one if you have the requisite skills-- especially the ability to ID
birds along the route BY SOUND. (On my routes, I'd say I ID 80% by sound, and
see few of them.
Here's the list; contact me if interested.
“I especiallyenjoyed the first few pre-dawn stops along the wetlands area of
PonchaCreek—the dawn chorus there was often a tad overwhelming. An experience
Iwill never forget.” – Tina Mitchell
