Thank you for the correction, Christian. I'm glad that Skunk Canyon is ok, but sad about the actual region that has burned. I apologize for passing on incorrect information. I got it from what I thought was a reliable source, the Boulder Office of Emergency Management website. Strangely, this information about "upper Skunk Canyon" is still listed on the official Boulder OEM Emergency Status page at http://boulderoem.com/emergency-status :
> June 26 -- Fire 9 p.m. update > ... > * The fire is burning in upper Skunk Canyon. just west of the NIST/NOAA campus, and expected to produce smoke in Boulder through the night. ^^^^ This information is incorrect. I also agree that "Flagstaff Fire" is a misnomer. The original (informal) name, "Bison Fire" seems more accurate to me. Here's a perimeter map of the "Flagstaff" Fire that the Denver Post put together earlier today: *http://goo.gl/maps/nS9B* <http://goo.gl/maps/nS9B> See also http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_20951733 If this map is correct, the fire is nowhere near Skunk Canyon. The perimeter they show is *southwest* of NCAR. - Barry Gingrich Broomfield, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
