Message: <blockquote data-quote="avesjohn" data-source="post: 3506614" data-attributes="member: 57510">To make things simple, I just put in bold the species in the above lists that I managed to see while in Colorado last May-October, while adding another here: Wild Turkey, which I added as a lifer there despite having previously seen them here in California several times on account of them being considered exotic here but "native" there. Needless to say, I didn't get to travel around Colorado as much as I would've liked, but I still managed to reach my goal of 100+ species seen in the state (with 120 by the time I left). I rarely left the immediate Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park area. Even with that being the case, Dusky Grouse turned out to be a serious nemesis bird, and a bird I thought I would get fairly easily, given time and effort, eluded me.</blockquote>
