Gunnison
This town is the cultural center of the Gunnison Basin and provides a central base from which to look for Gunnison Sage-grouse in spring and flocks of rosy-finches and other winter wandering birds at feeders in the colder months. Sometimes Lewis’s Woodpeckers can be found in late spring and summer in the cemetery or in the city park. Look for American Dippers along the river in town, especially in winter.
