Over 100 species of birds have been documented in this lovely foothills area dominated by Ponderosa Pine, cliffs and grasslands. Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie Falcons nest and are frequently seen working the thermals. You should easily see Mountain Bluebirds, Solitary Vireos, Pygmy, White and Red-breasted Nuthatches, Western Tanagers, Downy Woodpeckers, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, Wild Turkeys and perhaps even Dusky Grouse. Warblers nesting here include Virginia’s, McGillivray’s and the over-sized warblers, Yellow-breasted Chats with their amazing repertoires. This is a mammal and butterfly rich area too! Please meet at the new parking lot by the old ranch sheds off of Left Hand Canyon Drive. Bring the usual, good shoes, water, hats, sunscreen, binoculars and cameras. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
