Hi
Been on the radar for years but I'm finally going to do the Colorado 'chicken run'.
Two of the chickens require some planning, and Lesser Prairie Chicken has very few remaining slots already for lek viewing for the 2024 season for individual visits. I've booked one slot on 24 April (the earliest one possible) and there is one remaining slot on that day.
For anyone nimble enough, they are welcome to join me (I could buy the last slot if needed).
Rough costs: air fare to Denver from London (£550+ direct flight). Hire car: £350+ a week (yes it's expensive). Accommodation, food and fuel: roughly £100 a day should cover it.
Beyond the seven chickens, other key targets include: Mountain Plover, Lewin's Woodpecker, Evening Grosbeak, various rosy-finches, Prairie Falcon, Ferruginous Hawk.
PM if interested. Dates likely 11 to 25 April.
Cheers
Mike
