Birdwatching, Caribou Ranch Open Space

Leader: Carl Starace

Friday, July 7, 2017

Free, no reservations necessary

Time: 7:30 am – 11 am
On this trip, avid birdwatcher and enthusiastic leader, Carl Starace will take the group to this higher elevation locale. Caribou Ranch, located to the north of Nederland, had varied habitats which include forest, meadows and wetlands. The target birds include Red Crossbills, Red-naped and Williamson’s Sapsuckers, Gray Jay, Clark’s Nutcracker, Townsend’s Solitaire, Black-chinned Hummingbird and perhaps Three-toed Woodpeckers. Elk and moose breed at Caribou and are distinct possibilities.

Meet at Eben Fine Park at the west end of Arapahoe Avenue to carpool. Be prepared for cool and windy weather with sun and insect protection, water, snacks and sturdy shoes for a fair amount of walking. Passengers should plan on paying the drivers $.12 per mile to cover their expenses.
