RFI: bird guiding

[Isaac Sanchez]

Hi Colorado Birders:

 

My wife and I will be visiting CO next month (Aug. 20 – 27) and we will be staying on the west side of RMNP (Grandby).  We are looking for someone to guide us for a full day or possibly 2 days, and of course, for a fee.   It has been over 10 years since we were in CO birding. 

 

My present motivation is that I am in the middle of an ABA area photo Big Year that now stands at 507:

I have a target list of about 20 birds that we wish to see and hopefully photograph. My top 3 targets are Williamson’s and Red-naped Sapsuckers and White-tailed Ptarmigan, which are RMNP birds.  We are willing to travel up to 3 hours one way from Grandby to see other targets, such as Black Swift and Mountain Plover. 

 

Hoping to hear from someone,

BTW, I see that there is interest on this board in the Rufous-necked Wood-Rail in NM.  I was lucky to get some low-resolution photos:
