Hi all, I heard today from the compiler of the Summit County Christmas Bird Count. The count was scheduled last Friday, the day, the Purple Sandpiper was found, though the count didn't occur that day unfortunately. The count is now scheduled for early January, which means the Purple Sandpiper will have to stick around for a while, for it to be counted on a Colorado Christmas Bird Count.
The bird seemed pretty happy today, feeding in the warm water along the inlet! What an incredible find, hopefully the finders will write up about how they discovered it in the CFO Journal, once the CBRC accepts this bird, as a first state record. -- Brandon Percival Colorado CBC Regional Editor Pueblo West, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
