Looking For a Few Good Birders"
The Indian Peaks Bird Counts began in 1982 as a Christmas
Bird Count, complete with a count circle divided into areas that birders
adopt. We expanded to all four seasons for 30 years, and now continue as a
Summer (Breeding) Count. This year will be the 40th year.
We are trying to recruit some "young-legs" to help with the
bird count. Higher elevation areas, mostly hikes into the Indian Peaks
Wilderness, such as Niwot Ridge, King Lake, Woodland Lake, Arapaho Pass,
and Mt. Audubon. All of these are strenuous hikes, but beautiful country
and a nice way to spend the day. They present a good array of birds typical
of Front Range upper montane, subalpine, and alpine habitats.
The count is run like a Christmas Bird Count, so it is
fairly non-structured - just hike the trails and record what you see and/or
hear. The Summer Count runs from June 1 through July 15 - you go out one
day within the period. The count areas listed above are best done in late
June or July, particularly this year with the abundant snowpack.
If you would be interested in taking on one of the areas,
whether by yourself or forming a team, please contact me directly. I can
get you more detailed information.
Thank you,
