Birdwatching in Colorado
Birding contacts and birdwatching information
Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. Initial |

| I am in the Denver area but have very specific knowledge on where to find species such as Trumpeter Swans, Tundra Swans, many species of ducks, raptors, etc throughout the western U.S. I don't know how often I'd be able to go out with people, but would be happy to share my knowledge.

| I've been birding for a number of years and enjoy it tremendously, but am by no means an expert. Colorado City and surrounding southeastern Colorado area is a wonderful birding destination, with well over 400 species on the local Audubon chapter checklist. The mountains and plains meet here and birds from north and south wander into
the area.

| While not a master birder, I'm competent in the Rocky Mountains, and can find out easily whatever may be helpful. Not always available (traveling!). One hour from Rocky Mountain National Park, and Indian Peaks Wilderness. One hour away from great plains/grassland areas. Note that many high altitudes not easily accessible Nov to May.
