[cobirds] Greater Sage Grouse featured in Foothills Audubon Virtual meeting, tonight, 7 pm

['Irene Fortune]

US Bureau of Land Management is revising their habitat management plan 
for Greater Sage Grouse.  Again!


This time, BLM is taking comments from the public until February 6.  If 
you'd like to make comment to BLM - or like to learn more about the 
iconic Greater Sage Grouse - then Tuesday is your chance to learn the 
history and latest developments directly from Daly Edmunds, Director of 
Policy and Outreach for Audubon Rockies.


Greater Sage-grouse are found across 11 western states in North 
America’s largest but often overlooked ecosystem. This inconspicuous 
lekking species was once so prevalent that they fed many pioneers during 
their grueling westward journeys. Today, with a majority of the birds 
found on public lands, they’ve become a political football. In this 
presentation, Daly will discuss the political intrigue that has plagued 
its management, review the threats to its habitat, and share the latest 
science (spoiler alert: they aren’t doing well!).


Here is the link to join in.  Program will start promptly at 7 pm.

[cobirds] Mourning Doves

[Lea A Brown]

Of interest. This afternoon 1/31/2022 on my walk through our neighborhood open 
space, I encountered a flock of (at least) 30 Mourning Dove. Which trumps the 2 
male Robins that appeared late last week. 

I faithfully bird the open space area that runs along Dad Clark Trail from 
University Blvd, north to Venneford Ranch Road, Central Highlands Ranch, 
Douglas County.
