Good Morning,
I want to share a reference tool that will help shed some light on how expansive our current statewide drought situation is, so you can connect the dots on what potential it might have on birds in Colorado. Please keep in mind the seriousness of this when giving thought as to why some birds might be shifting from their historical haunts.
Just a little context for how this has progressed over the winter, the central mountains of Summit and Eagle Co. had two small areas of exceptional drought on 1/20/26. Now the range of the exceptional drought has encompassed the entire NW quadrant of the state.
This is just food for thought on how the drought will impact foraging opportunities for the multitude of avian species that live or migrate through our state.
Fingers crossed for more long term moisture.
