Colorado is a great place to see — and hear — birds: Some 500 species have been observed here, more than in all but a handful of other states.

Pieplow is also the author of the Peterson’s Field Guide to Bird Sounds of Western North America (forthcoming in April). You can find the book’s companion website at .
