Colorado: The Lekking Grouse Tour

There is no better place in North America than Colorado (and the prairie states of Nebraska and Kansas) to witness the dancing displays of grouse and prairie-chickens. On this whirlwind tour, we visit the leks of Greater Prairie-Chicken, Lesser Prairie-Chicken, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Greater Sage Grouse, and Gunnison Sage Grouse. We also seek out displaying Dusky Grouse and visit the treeless realm of the White-tailed Ptarmigan.

Whew!

Despite the chicken focus, this tour is jam-packed with other special birds, including migrant and resident waterfowl, numerous species of raptors, two species of longspurs, and a chance for all three species of rosy-finch! And let’s not forget the scenery and mammals! This tour takes us through the picturesque Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and the Colorado National Monument. Along our route we could find Moose, Pronghorn, Desert Bighorn Sheep and much more!

Itineraries will be updated with plenty of time before the next departure. Our itineraries usually show minimal changes between years, but some substantive updates can occur as birding access and information evolves. For any specific questions regarding these trips, please contact us.
