Hi, everybody. One more thing about this Tattered Cover event. I didn't realize until today how close to City Park the Colfax Ave. branch of the Tattered Cover is. So I'll be doing a lite, casual, fun, bring-your-own-dinner bird walk in the hour before the event. Meet at 5:45 p.m. on the west side of The Lake. It's officially known as "Ferril Lake," but probably nobody, not even Joe Roller, knows that.
More details here: http://www.tatteredcover.com/event/ted-floyd-aba-field-guide-birds-colorado-colfax-avenue The site says we'll look for herons, egrets, and cormorants, and we will. In particular, we'll look for Joe Roller's disembodied head of a night-heron, or whatever it was. Sounds freaky. See you tomorrow! All best, --Ted Floyd P.s. While waiting at 6am this overcast Monday morning in the parking lot of the studios of Clear Channel Communications (ask me about THAT!) in South Denver, I heard various sparrows and even a Red-breasted Nuthatch wrapping up nocturnal migration. Big city, bright lights, clouds = audible nocturnal migration.
