Hello, Birders. There seems to be a little bit of confusion about where exactly Hannah and Andrew and I found the Pacific Wren (or wrens?) yesterday, Nov. 26th, in Boulder County. The bird was immediately west of where the St. Vrain "River" crosses 63rd Street. Yes, 63rd Street, despite all the naysayers. (Thanks for the flood of e-mail; glad to know folks actually pay attention!) Here's a map: http://tiny.cc/Mwo3O The exact lat./long. for the bird are: 40.196155N, 105.207924W ranging west to 40.196143N, 105.208173W.
Which presents me with the opportunity to implore birders to use exact latitude and longitude for reporting birds that others might want to go out and find. After all these years in Colorado, I still don't know what is meant by Wheatridge Greenbelt, Denver West, or the notorious model airplane field at Cherry Creek. And I've completely given up on ever trying to figure out where anything is at Chatfield State Park... :-( In the past year or so, it's gotten incredibly easy to get lat./long. data online. I was back in New York last month, and folks on the New York equivalent of COBirds were giving lat./long. locations for the *exact parking space* that a rare bird was hanging out in. Sure beats "turn left here, turn right there, drive to the end, walk past the trees, it was back in there somewhere." ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding Check out Birding magazine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BirdingMagazine ------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: It works the way you want.
