Birding Colorado

Birding is for everyone, but not everyone has the ability to climb hundreds of feet to see a ptarmigan. Colorado is blessed with numerous roads into the high country where vehicle birding is possible at pull-offs. There are also a number of locations with paved trails or otherwise accessible and easy birding. As they are identified, they are presented here. Click the site name to go to the details.
