It has been decided that instead of waiting a week for a grouse trip to finish and getting reports, I will transcribe telephone reports of current grouse trips. I will do my best. Amy Davenport

A CoBus sponsored grouse trip led by Bryan Ehlmann left Denver this morning.
After spending two hours scoping for White-tailed Ptarmigan at Loveland Pass, their final option was to climb the west side trail. After a strenuous 0.6-mile hike up the mountain, they ran into one Ptarmigan!
They relocated the last pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes at the Blue River Water Treatment Plant in Summit County, then continued north.
Seven Rosy Finches, Brown-capped Rosy Finch and one Gray-crowned Rosy Finch, were seen flying around the town of Kremmling in Grand County.
On the way to Steamboat Springs, they found the female American Three-toed Woodpecker on Rabbit Ears Pass, Grand County. She wanders on both sides of the maintenance shed side road.
Sixty+ Bohemian Waxwings were found along the Yampa River about a mile south of the city limits in Routt County.
Their birding day ended with sightings of 9+ Greater Sage Grouse along Jackson County Road 26, west of Highway 14.
