Silverton
Yet another fantastically scenic mountain town, Silverton is similar to Ouray, but with much more of a pioneer feel. A number of feeders around town can have a variety of finches, Steller’s Jay, woodpeckers, and species more typical of lower elevations like Black-headed Grosbeak. During the colder months large flocks of rosy-finches can be seen in the feeders around town, or along the roads to the ski area. Get out of the car and walk the streets of this small historic town.
