Good morning, COBirders,
Dear spouse and I will be in Durango at the end of the month (staying a bit north of town, near Hermosa). I’ve looked at the eBird data, but I’m wondering if locals can suggest one of the “hot-spots” over another? We can easily travel down-town, or further up into the mountains.
Thanks so much!

Gary,
On the CFO website, click on "County Birding" or just use keywords " Colorado County birding'.
That takes you to a map of CO counties. lLick on the county you will visit and the best hotspots
are listed and described. Little used and more "minor" hotspots don't appear on the list.
You can also check the eBird hotspot map and zoom in and find the hotspots with the highest use,
indicated by the color of the teardrop maker.

Thanks to all who made fabulous suggestions regarding Durango!
I admit, I’ keep forgetting about the County Birding website.
WE keep (re-)learning!

Pastorius SWA is a little slower this time of year and Zink's Pond has some nesting species. Grace's Warbler is harder to find as they're not singing and generally stay high in the ponderosa pines.
