The Tennessee Aquarium will be offering a trip to Colorado to view 
displaying grouse species from April 2-7, 2002. The recently split Gunnison 
Sage Grouse as well as Sharp-tailed and Greater Sage Grouse will be the 
focus. We will also look for White-tailed Ptarmigan if the weather permits. 
The trip will be lead by (me) Kevin Calhoon. (Bio.available upon request) 

It will begin in Denver and we will bird the Guanella Pass (White-tailed 
Ptarmigan) looking for high altitude species (weather permitting). We will 
then head west to Gunnison and view the only Gunnison Sage Grouse lek open 
to the public. 

From Gunnison we will head northwest to Craig and Hayden where we will 
observe both Sage and Sharp-tailed Grouse leks. 

We will then head towards Fort Collins through the 9,000-foot Rabbit Ears 
Pass. We will spend the night in Fort Collins and then head back to Denver 
the next day. 

The scenery throughout this trip will be fantastic and we should see alot of

large mammals well as birds! 

We will of course be birding on the way, between grouse sites, and at any 
opportunity. Those who have gone on my any of my trips know that we will be 
no shortage of serious birding! I will be monitoring the local RBA's for 
rarities and will do my best to accommodate listing needs. 

The trip price is 575$ for Tennessee Aquarium members and 610$ for 
non-members (not including airfare) 

This will be a fantastic trip and the maximum is 12, so don't wait too long 
if you are interested!
