The New Year is here and it is time to make your plans for spring birding. The Colorado April trip to Colorado should be on your list. This trip will focus on grouse--Greater & Gunnison Sage-Grouse, Sharp-tailed and Dusky Grouse and both Greater and Lesser Prairie Chicken. In addition, we will seek out White-tailed Ptarmigan, three Rosy-finch species and many other Colorado specialties. We will visit several leks to see these amazing birds preforming their annual mating dances. The cost of this trip is $2175 for TOS members and $2200 for non-members. Your payment includes all transportation, guide, entry fees and lodging (double occupancy-single occupancy available for an additional fee) from the Denver airport. This is the first time this trip has been offered as a TOS field trip.
