July 24
A pair of Gray Jays, Pine Grosbeaks, four Red Crossbills and a Lincoln's Sparrow was at Red Mountain Pass (Ouray) as we headed toward Black Bear Pass.
A Black Swift was seen flying near Bullion King Lake (San Juan). Our target bird, White-tailed Ptarmigan was missed. In addition, we wanted to test our 4-wheel drive skills on this road.
The highlight of the day was two White-tailed Ptarmigan at Black Bear Pass. They were in San Juan County!
The road at Black Bear Mine gets quite tricky. Again, know your 4-wheel drive skills before attempting.
We saw a couple of Black Swifts fly over Bridal Veil Falls (San Juan County) when we arrived there.

Today we rested in Montrose County. A plan to go owling was crushed by another rain storm. The wet weather is getting old.
