Well said, Leon. I subscribed to CObirds back in the 1990 (mid to late, if I recall correctly) and I have enjoyed the postings every day since then. I’m looking forward to all of the Colorado birding information posted on this list serve in the future. I find it super informative and very beneficial to me and I hope it continues. Thanks to all who share their postings and thoughts.
