The BEST OF Colorado

We guide across several major regions of Colorado, from the top of the iconic Rocky Mountains to the rolling plains and prairies of Pawnee National Grasslands. We want you to get the best of Colorado birds and birding across this wild and scenic state–White-tailed Ptarmigans and Brown-capped Rosy-Finches to longspurs and prairie-chickens, Black Swifts to Pinyon Jays and Lewis’s Woodpeckers.

Birded for 4 days plus two times owling with David Tønnessen. He knows his stuff, was always well aware of my target species, allowed me to try to identify stuff on my own when practical, birded full days. Had a great time. Highly recommend.
