The other thing is we live out in the boonies and I'm not aware of anybody nearby that has turkeys (they may though). A domestic may have had to walk a long way to join our gang. Could be though. On Thursday, April 1, 2021 at 1:36:25 PM UTC-6 Jeff Kehoe wrote: > I also thought about a

Another option for out of state people. F60 - Nonresident Fishing 5-Day License License Year: 2021 $32.95 I think you'd be allowed to go to SWAs or those 5 days. Brandon Percival Pueblo West, CO On Thu, Apr 1, 2021, 2:37 PM Jared Hamby wrote: > My plan was just to buy the annual. Hopefully,

Jared, if not, you could get a fishing license instead at a Walmart, etc., and be good to go for accessing SWAs. One caveat - the one-day fishing passes technically don't work for access to SWAs, I believe, so you'd have to buy an annual. You can check the Colorado Department of Wildlife website

Right now, yes. It sounds like the new swa pass will be priced similarly to the cost of fishing license/habitat stamp, at least for those not eligible for the senior discount. On Thu, Apr 1, 2021 at 2:24 PM Sharon Kermiet wrote: > Is a fishing license the cheapest alternative for birders? > >

I saw 4 (3F 1M) leucistic turkeys in Pueblo earlier this week. I Googled the phenomena when I returned home and apparently experts think 1 in 100 can be leucistic with females being more common. Here's my eBird checklist with a couple pictures of the tom and 1 of the females...

I would be happy to pay for access to the SWAs, but I do balk at giving them my social security #, thereby risking identity theft. Several years ago when I objected, the bureaucrat I talked to insisted they needed it to track down dead-beat dads who refused to pay child support. ? Last

On my daily commute I am always do some drive-by birding of Arrowhead Reservoir in Greeley. Today there was a swan on the lake on the west side. Obviously, I did not have anyway to get a better ID at 45mph, but it might be worth checking out. The lake it private, but I'm sure someone can ger
