Just an FYI……
this is a beautiful part of Colorado “far and away from the madding crowds” i.e., the hordes of people on the Front Range, e.g., Ft Collins – Denver – Colorado Springs – Pueblo
AND the birding can be special…. think higher elevation habitats that are nearby, including tundra
think White-tailed Ptarmigan, think Brown-capped Rosy-Finch…… =) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
