Cortez scouting
Tom Wilberding
Barb & I recently made a
roadtrip to Cortez where I attended a CFO board meeting to put finishing
touches on the May 16 to 19 convention, which will no doubt be a lot
of fun for all. We went from Boulder to Cañon City for ½ day birding, then up
the Arkansas River to Salida for the night, next to Cortez for board meeting
followed by night in Dove Creek, then up the Dolores River to Grand Junction
for the night, then home via I-70 through Monday’s blizzard. (If you plan to do
a similar loop to Cortez, consider the north leg first, as westbound I-70 is
less congested than eastbound due to eastbound construction.) The scenic route
to Cortez? You can’t go wrong as all roads in western Colorado are very scenic.
What a beautiful state!

Here is a two minute slide
show of some of the birds we saw. (Let me know if you would like a map for the
location of any of these birds.) http://bit.ly/15duFhi
Hope to see you in Cortez. It's going to be great!
