French Alps in February: What Will I See? (1 Viewer)

joannec said:

I'm planning a short trip to The Alps in February to visit my daughter who is working at a French ski resort for the winter season. We will be in Les Carroz d'araches and Flaine. What birds should I be looking for, common and not so common....never been there before. I'm thinking there won't be too many birds above the snow line in winter but maybe soaring raptors on bright sunny days? Perhaps more birds in the wooded parts and around human habitation. Any guidance appreciated.

Hi Joanne,
Alpine Chough, Alpine Accentor, Snow Finch are all easy to see with luck, some raptors, but a word of advice...sod the birds and get those skiis on!!!
