Hi all
My wife Sandy and I spent five days in the Routt National Forest--Mt. Zirkel Wilderness area in Routt County bird watching and botanizing primarily in the montane, 7800’ to 8800’ zone. The major vegetation consisted of sub-alpine fir, some spruce, lots of aspen and a solid covering of scrub oak in the lower montane zones. There were large areas covered with corn lilies and mules ears. The most common bird species were American Robin, House Wren, Green-tailed Towhee, Lincoln Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow and, surprisingly, of the warbler's the MacGillivray’s Warbler were numerous.
