When thinking about "What is COBIRDS?" (described at CFO-Link.org) it specifically reads "COBirds is for the discussion of Colorado Birds"-- which is open for varying interpretation.
When I read that statement I "feel" and have the "expectation" that COBIRDS is there for use/enjoyment/education by novices to experts to express how birding makes us feel, to learn value or to discussing anything about Colorado's birds--from the Lapland Longspur at our feeders, identification challenges, a new open space or natural area, new birding technologies, to 20,000+ mallards gathered at WCR 124 or Woods Lake (certainly a spectacle to behold even if they are "just" Mallards) to 120+ Bald Eagles sitting on Union Reservoir or even rarities (Snow Buntings and such). This personal interpretation is in line with how I feel about how any community should behave--inclusive. My three cents ... :-) Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn/CO http://coloradobirder.ning.com/ On Sep 28, 12:31 pm, "Joy Lake" <[email protected]> wrote: > I would like to add my 2c worth to this discussion.
