Checklist: Teller County Checklist
Introduction: For a small mountain county, Teller does not get very high--it barely clears 13,000 feet. Its bodies of water are not that large, and its area is not that big. In spite of all this, however, the birding here can be excellent. The county's checklist is surprisingly large, as is its diversity of montane habitats. It is a great destination for birders visiting the Colorado Springs area.
