Bird Identification Photos

This is my first attempt at categorizing all the birds I've seen and photographed in Colorado.  Please be patient since the page may take a while to load -- but it is worth the wait. The site works a little better if you scroll through the page rather than using the tabs below.  For bird sounds recorded in Rocky Mountain National Park go to: https://www.nps.gov/romo/learn/photosmultimedia/soundlibrary.htm
