Does anyone know of a decent birding spot/trail in close proximity to Idaho Springs? I’m biking Guanella pass tomorrow and was thinking of heading up early to do some birding.

Thank you.

Doug,

You'll have a lot to cover biking up to Guanella Pass itself and the campground near it on the Georgetown side.

So if you must find a spot near Idaho SPrings, I'd cruise around the town itself. Hummer feeders?

COnsider a cruise around Georgetown, but main goal is the PASS, where you'll find habitat and birds

not easy at lower altitudes. 3 toed woodpecker, rare WW Crossbill and it may take a while to search for

and find WT Ptarmigan at the pass.

Good luck.

Let me know what you checked and saw please.

Joe Roller, Denver

Doug,

Joe gives great advice. On the way, there will be Black-headend Grosbeaks and possibly Band-tailed Pigeons (a troop of over 20 come to my feeders in Empire), Warbling Vireos and Wilson’s Warblers. Will you be driving to Idaho Springs/Georgetown? I might have some other suggestions.
