Hi Bill,

I saw at least 3 Northern Cardinal at Tamarack Areas 10 and 11 on the east 
side on March 5th, but didn't see or hear any on my last visit on May 31st.

[cobirds] CPW Commission requires a valid hunting or fishing license to access all State Wildlife Areas (Response from CPW)

[Adrian Lakin (adrianlak...@gmail.com)]

All,

Below is the response I received from CPW regarding the new SWA 
hunting/fishing license requirement. I guess the only "good" thing to be 
gleaned from the response is that they no longer require the extra $47 
annual fee for access to Jumbo Reservoir SWA, Lake Deweese SWA, Prewitt 
Reservoir SWA, and San Luis Lakes SWA, but you will need the fishing 
license instead that covers all SWA's and STL's.

I will respond back to Bradley asking about the process to get a bill to 
the legislature for a Birding Stamp/License.

Thanks,

Adrian Lakin, Mead, CO

Reply from CPW and my original question to them...

Hello,

 

Thank you for contacting Colorado Parks and Wildlife. I understand you are 
inquiring about birding on state lands. 

 

Your Colorado State Parks pass is valid for Colorado State Park which offer 
great birding opportunities. However, 
the Parks and Wildlife Commission approved a regulation change to protect 
the integrity of these properties for their intended use—the perpetuation 
and conservation of wildlife and wildlife recreation—regulation #900.C.1 
has been added to require all persons 18 years of age or older hold a valid 
hunting or fishing license to access any SWA. Similarly, regulation 
#902.B.5 was added prohibiting access to STLs leased by the Division to all 
persons 18 years of age and older who do not hold a valid hunting or 
fishing license. *Additionally, property-specific regulations were modified 
accordingly, including** removing the annual access permit requirement for 
Jumbo Reservoir SWA (901.B.119(a)), Lake Deweese SWA (901.B.130(a)), 
Prewitt Reservoir SWA (901.B.173(a)), and San Luis Lakes SWA 
(901.B.203(a)).* State wildlife properties can be found in our 2019 
Recreation Lands brochure 
. This new 
regulation will start July 1, 2020. 

 

We currently have an SWA permit for specific properties that already 
require a hunting or fishing license. However, with the new regulations for 
wildlife properties, we will no longer be offering an SWA permit for 
wildlife properties and a hunting or fishing license will be required to 
access all state wildlife areas and state trust lands. The SWA permit was 
not recognized under the Federal-Aid Program as a valid hunting or fishing 
license.  The current SWA Access Permit system, used on only four SWAs, 
negatively impacted the CPW wildlife finances.  The monies generated from 
this access permit fund lessens the following year’s Federal Aid monies 
used by CPW by the amount the access permit fund accumulated.

 

In order to create a new birding stamp or license, CPW would need to submit 
a bill to the legislator to amend that state statute regarding valid 
licenses. 

 

Respectfully,

Subject: CPW FAQ Question Submitted from Website
To: 

 

The following question has been submitted through the CPW FAQ Ask A 
Question page.

I just heard about this new requirement that will be in effect July 1 and I 
am concerned about this cost for us folks who use (very respectfully) the 
SWA's and CPW-leased lands for birding. This seems a very excessive 
response to try to discourage a few troublemakers while hurting a whole lot 
of people who by nature are respectful of wildlife and the environment. 
Would it be possible to issue a "Birding Stamp" or something similar that 
DOESN'T cost us an additional $45 per year like the Fishing License and 
Habitat Stamp would? I already pay $80 per year for my Colorado State Parks 
pass, so this additional cost would really hurt. Thanks, Adrian Lakin Mead, 
CO

Hi Eric,

Great idea. I posted a question suggesting something similar to this to the 
CPW contact page right before I saw your post here. Maybe we can all send 
suggestions to the below page to try to rattle their cage? The $20 annual 
fee that Maine has for this is a lot better than us youngsters having to 
pay $45 for Habitat and Fishing License.

[cobirds] Varied Thrush, Boulder YES

[Adrian Lakin (adrianlak...@gmail.com)]

2:45 to 3:05. The varied thrush reported yesterday continues in the same yard 
at the corner of Peach Way and Apple Way. It retreats into pine trees when 
spooked, but it posed nicely for me and I got some great pictures.

[cobirds] Re: Snowy Owl, N Sterling, Logan

[Adrian Lakin (adrianlak...@gmail.com)]

I spent over an hour at North Sterling Reservoir, Logan and vicinity this 
morning 9 to 10:30am and unfortunately didn't see the Snowy Owl. Plenty of 
Snow Goose and Bald Eagles though...
