Richard Larsen Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 This link hopefully will open to some bird ID problems I had in Southwest Colorado. Some were in ranchlands near Ridgway at around 7000', and some up above Red Mountain Pass at around 12,000'. Maybe some will embarrass me - there may be a robin, and may be a crow in the pics, just a different view. And, one is so fuzzy it might be impossible, but it has an interesting peach-colored breast. I was able to ID some Rough-winged Swallows, Violet-Green Swallows, Kestrels, Swainson's Hawks, White-tailed Ptarmigans - and some starlings - but the attached eluded me. Any comments are welcome. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ay19uwttFBdAEE6y7 Thanks. Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
