My son works at RMNP and has been clearing snow at the Alpine Visitor
Center and on the the upper parts of Trail Ridge Rd. He said they’re
shooting for a June 4 road opening if possible.

I spent part of the morning yesterday in RMNP and have a few observations
of possible interest to birders:
- As you may already know, starting June 4, a timed entry ticket will be
required to enter the park. The park website says "reservations" can be
made for June 4 through July
Moderator's note: please note no more piling on for this point about the
rattlesnake. Concerns have been clearly stated and responses registered
many times. Thread closed

CoBirders, please note that the driveway mentioned is private property that you
would cross to access the area described, and the path referred to is actually
a utility access , not a birding trail. Also parking there near Deer Creek is
quite limited and there can be a lot of cars going through
Linda,
Humans need to realize when they are out in nature they are in the homes of
the ones that live there and therefor humans need to think if this was my home
would I protect it.

Seems like this was a “teachable moment” for the ranch-hand.

All, if anyone encounters a snake that they feel is a danger/problem in the
Boulder area, please feel free to contact me. I am trained to handle
rattlesnakes and I am called on to remove and relocate them from people's
yards at least a couple times a year.

There are many ways to move a snake without destroying it. Please consider
that in the future.

Sounds like an unfortunate and disturbing morning to me. I totally do not
understand #3 below. See a rattlesnake? Walk away.

Thats a bummer. I was hoping to go out there and photograph that snake when
I get back into town.

Birders,
In my opinion, it may be more helpful to offer suggestions on how to handle
a situation than to assign blame.
Bill Maynard, your explanation of how you've dealt with poisonous snakes is
greatly appreciated.
Just my 2 cents.

For those who haven't been to this eBird hotspot: after turning on w.
buckhorn from Deer Creek Canyon Rd, park in the pullout on the right. Cross
the street and go slightly up a driveway. A path shows up on the left. Go
down the the little greenbelt to the lone Russian Olive bush. Face away

I'll add my two cents and also agree. What next, kill all mountain lions and
bears? No thank you. Joey, remember a long time ago when Laura and I found
that I think we decided it was a Milk Snake at Chatfield State Park?
Unfortunately, it was dead but still cool to see.The only way I
Rattlesnakes, as all snakes, are pretty cool. They can live 15-20 years.
Most of their growth takes place in their early years. Some species get up
to 8 ft long, others 2 ft. As they do get older & bigger they are not as
aggressive & are easier to escape from. It’s the smaller ones that you have
I have encountered LITERALLY hundreds of rattlesnakes in Colorado and
perhaps another 100+ in Arizona. Some while driving and they're crossing
the road, a number while hiking in the field. Never had any issues or
problems with them. You see one, you can EASILY go around it or wait until
it
Not only that, the act was cruel and immoral.

Thank you for posting!
Truelly amazing find and amazing bird! Due to the placement of a patches of
yellow plumage, it looks like it could potentially the same bird seen a few
days ago at Harriman Lake. Either way, great find. Interestingly, I drove by
this location early this morning and noted
Hello Norm,
I just posted on Cobirds about a Scarlet Tanager at a well known eBird
hotspot at Deer Creek Canyon Rd and W. Buckhorn. However, my cell phone
service was not working there, so I had to pull over a little ways down the
canyon to post it, giving the cross streets rather than the GPS
Wow. Lets kill nature so you can take pictures of nature. You deserve a pat on
the back.

Just a followup about someone's comment about the timeliness of eBird
alerts - I don't remember exactly who posted it - sorry.
The person had commented that the eBird alerts were not timely enough to
let them know about a rare bird until the next day and it was too late.
Actually, you can setup
Well said, Norm! Posting rare/uncommon birds to this forum has slowed
considerably the last few years (
I blame the blasted eBird Top 100 obsession), but is still the quickest way
to get the word out to the masses. I appreciate the birders who still make
an effort to post a timely note to
Share your recorded bird songs. Last day to submit to the Dawn Chorus

A male bobolink was present last evening, May 30, at 6 p.m. along Cherry Vale
Rd., south of South Boulder Rd. It was in the field on the east side of the
road, about half way between S. Boulder Rd. and the bridge over the turnpike.
The roadside here usually has lots of poison ivy, so caution
