[cobirds] BBS Routes available

Colorado still has about a dozen BBS routes that need observers. Our roster has 137 routes -- more than any other states except Calif & TX. We encourage you to pick up one if you have the requisite skills-- especially the ability to ID birds along the route BY SOUND. (On my routes, I'd say I ID 80% by sound, and see few of them. 

Here's the list; contact me if interested.

"I especially enjoyed the first few pre-dawn stops along the wetlands area of Poncha Creek—the dawn chorus there was often a tad overwhelming.  An experience I will never forget." – Tina Mitchell
