So if I already have a CORSAR card do I also have to purchase a Habitat Stamp as well as a fishing license to bird at SWAs if I'm under 65?? Jan Gorski Highlands Ranch, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To unsubscribe from t

A common misconception among some anglers and hunters is that fishing and hunting licenses come with a free rescue from Colorado Search and Rescue in the event that one is needed. While it is true that a basic search and rescue operation is delivered at no charge, any operation requiring a helic

Today, Saturday the 11th, I thought I would check out the shorebirds reported at Chatfield SP. I knew it was not the best day or the best time (11:30 AM) but was not prepared for two lines of cars from the highway to the gate house even with two people working outside to sell admissions. Nor was I

As soon as this policy was announced, I purchased my (senior) fishing license online.  On the license it breaks down the cost (which at $9.85 is a bargain), and there is a small charge noted for Search and Rescue.  So if you are of a certain age and purchase a senior pass, you have paid for the

Hi CoBirders, The last time I saw an immature American Dipper in Clear Creek at Lowell Blvd. was July 2, 2020. It must not have liked 90 degree temps. I thought some of you might like an update. Thank you, Bob Canter, Denver -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I have never heard or read that the Habitat Stamp has anything to do with search & rescue. However, it is my understanding that some of the money from hunting/fishing licenses and the Habitat Stamp go to Colorado Search & Rescue as financial support. Here is information about Colorado Search & R

So, if you are over 65 and don't have a habitat stamp and search and rescue services comes to your aid, are you covered or do you have to reimburse for those services? Ira Sanders On Sat, Jul 11, 2020 at 1:04 PM Rachel Kolokoff Hopper wrote: > If you are under 65 you must buy a habitat stamp wit

If you are under 65 you must buy a habitat stamp with your fishing/hunting license. 65 and over it is not required. If you buy a license online it is automatically added to your purchase. Sent from my iPhone www.rkhphotography.net Rachel Kolokoff Hopper Ft. Collins On Jul 11, 2020, at 12:08 PM,

My understanding is the habitat stamp is required in addition to the hunting or fishing license for those between ages 18-65. If you are over 65, the habitat stamp is not required. Good article on the situation in the June issue of DFO’s The Lark Bunting https://dfobirds.org/News/Archives/2020-

I stopped in Poudre Canyon to buy my senior fishing license to legally enter to SWAs on my way to North Park. I tried to buy a habitat stamp at the same time, but the clerk had no idea how to sell me one. I am surprised that Tammy was forced to purchase one at the same time. I always thought it

Birders, Tammy bought a fishing license so she could fish on SWA lands and of course birdwatch. She was *forced* to buy a habitat stamp at the same time. For those of you who don't know what that is, it covers you for the cost of search and rescue if they have to come and find you if you get lost

Hi, all. I’m new here, and I was hoping someone could help me out. It’s not going to be easy… I was at Bluff Lake Nature Center this morning and had a unique encounter. As I was walking down a side trail, an EXTREMELY loud bug starting making what I can only call a clicking sound. I’m a little
