Folks- I'd like to announce the 72nd Boulder CBC, to be held this year on
Sunday 15 December. Participants of all experience and ability welcomed, let
me know if you would like to lead or join a team! We have our count circle
divided into 30+ territories, seeking great coverage in foothills forests and
canyons, urban jungles (winter warblers anyone?), plains, lakes, and riparian
zones. Some territories involve lots of miles (for example, the state champion
x-country-running Such brothers usually put up hiking milage in the high teens)
while others (like the ones I aim for…) are way more casual. We also seek
feeder watchers so if you live within 7.5 miles of 19th & Alpine and have
feeders we could use your count on the 15th!
I've enjoyed hearing some of the history of several Colorado counts. Boulder
ran its first count on 24 December 1909. There were some ons and offs in the
early years but the count has run every year now since 1950. We have tallied
210 species over the years, and have a strong 100+100 run going (100+
participants and 100+ species.)
Anyway, if interested please drop me a line.
Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont
