[cobirds] Mountain Plover Research Trip Photos/Central Colorado

Hi all

I had the opportunity to go with a Bird Conservancy of the Rockies group to Mountain Plover research site to find, observe, and tag Mountain Plover on Wednesday.  Gorgeous weather, sunny, 71 degrees, with great group and lots of fun and more acquired knowledge!

Researcher took us to active nest (adult, two chicks, one egg); probably saw total of 10 plovers (including chicks) in short span.  Then there was an untagged plover capture, banding and locator tracker.  Other birds and wildflowers, too.  Pretty cool stuff!  Beautiful vistas.
