From prairies to peak tops, Colorado attracts an
intriguing mix of birds, from Mountain Plovers and Rosy-Finches to
Lazuli Buntings and Black Swifts. Birders from all over the country
visit the state to see the vast variety of western and prairie
specialties.
Birding
Colorado guides you to the best birding sites at treeless
prairies in Pawnee National Grassland; canyons, mesas, and mountains in
four national parks and three national monuments; marshes, ponds, and
streams in five national wildlife refuges; and mountain, mesa, and
prairie highways and byways. Organized by region, this guide lists the
likely birds at each site and the status and distribution of all
species recorded in the state. Inside you'll find:
• Where and when to go, how to get there, and likely birds
• A description of each site, with information about key
species
• Where to find migrating eastern species, water birds, and
such specialties as Pygmy Nuthatch, Greater Roadrunner, and American
Three-Toed Woodpecker
• Details on the seasonal distributions of 482 bird
species—where they occur, their abundances there, and the
best times to see them
