Re: [cobirds] Re: RFI: Fawn Brook Inn or other feeding stations in Estes Park areA

The Boulder Bird club held their annual Mountain Feeders Field Trip last Saturday in Ward and Allenspark. We stopped at the Rock Creek Tavern & Pizza for refreshments.  The owners are going to move this establishment into the old Fawnbrook and they are busy working in that direction. We enquired about bird feeders and they were non-committal at this time focusing only on their move. In the future after they are settled they may be more approachable regarding feeders. Later, maybe the birding community could pitch in to assist with this if the owners are receptive to the idea?

Went by the Fawnbrook Inn in Allenspark (Boulder County) yesterday.  The restaurant doesn't appear to be open.  From the outside, it looks like some building repairs are underway--can't tell what might be going on inside.   There were just a few feeders hung out but no bird action and couldn't tell whether these are just vestiges from the previous owners.  If I were a bird, the situation didn't look very attractive.  I have no info on what the future might hold but at least for now, I wouldn't advise traveling to Allenspark just to visit the Fawnbrook Inn.

Back when the Fawnbrook Inn closed, the family had said that the folks who own the nearby Rock Creek Tavern & Pizza had bought the property and were planning to develop it into a restaurant of some kind, but the expectation was they would not maintain the bird feeders, but so far nothing has happened with the property it seems.

I am wondering if anyone knows if the feeders at Fawn Brook Inn in Allenspark are being maintained this winter or if there is another spot nearby where feeders are viewable by the public (in hopes of seeing Rosy-Finches, etc).  I am leading a winter ornithology field trip for CU students next weekend. Fawn Brook has served us well over the past decade but no longer was in operation last year.
