    My wife's aunt and uncle live in Canon City. We visited in 2022, before I got into birding. Skyline Drive was fun, but also a little nerve-wracking. If I ever get back there I'll have to check out the places you went to.

    Hi! Just an fyi...There was a weird auto correct on the scientific name for the Dark-eyed Junco. It said, "Hey Ali" or something like that 😅. Its scientific name is: Junco Hyemalis in case it's noticed. Also, I'm trying out a new video editing program. Your opinion matters if you want to reach out. Thanks in advance. Dave doesn't care for the bird labels. I probably won't use those again.

I retire in 6 months and will be heading out to Colorado in spring 2026 and have adjusted plans because places you visited looked so wonderful. Only my second time out west and I missed a few birds in the central US on my 1st trip. This location is a plan for spring 2028 so appreciate the sneak peak of all it has to offer. Thanks to you and Dave for helping me see some of your special places! I look forward to seeing more of your travels and all the birds you find.

      @@stanburman9978 You’re welcome & thanks for watching. I have one more video from Feb. of this year that may help even more. In December, you’ll have Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes in different ponds for the “BLAST OFF” in the am since they aren’t usually together roosting. I chose the Snow Geese since we had witnessed the Sandhill blast off in Kearney, NE already. There were 1000s of Sandhill cranes in the fields between Alb. and Bosque during the day already last month. Here’s a Feb. video with a better idea of all the birds you’ll see in Dec. ua-cam.com/video/MU28LKUnWBo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

    Please note: Actually, the colorful plates mentioned are made from radio active materials, not trinitite. They come in all different colors. I believe we had some growing up. Of course, they're not made anymore.

    There use to be a free area on down the road. Came across a really old camp site. U could bearly make out what it was. Alittle burned sticks. Right beside it was the smallest arrow I had ever seen.. still have it but when I return I will give it the museum there.

    One chilly morning we went out hiking on the sands. I kept hearing crunch crunch crunch I kept looking around trying to see were it was coming from. Looked down it was me.. it had snowed slightly and the top layer had turned to a thin layer of ice.

      It sounds like the park's rules have changed quite a bit, maybe because of the bases nearby. It was our first visit and probably not our last. Thanks for tuning in to our channel. Happy birding!
