[cobirds] West Arapahoe Co. Birding

Battling a cold, I spent most of the rainy morning and early afternoon birding a few spots in Centennial & Greenwood Village in west Arapahoe Co. I started at Marjorie Perry Nature Preserve, where I birded the western side of the preserve. Near its entrance, I heard then spotted a few singing

RE: [cobirds] Snowy plover yes

Eric, We must have just missed each other since I saw the Snowy Plover at Baseline at 6:30. I was on my way home from a trip to KS where I must have seen 50 at Quivira NWR yesterday; it was the most abundant shorebird beating out Baird's Sandpiper, Greater Yellowlegs and even Killdeer. Oh,

I understand, and this why I encourage other birders not to let themselves be pushed around for no particular good reason. I make it a point never to pass a "private property" sign, to cross fences or enter anywhere that says "keep out". However, I find that more and more I am being harrassed

That is funny, but as a Muslim birder this stuff is not much of a joke to me. I am afraid to go on any birding expeditions out of the country right now, or to even try to get on a plane to go somewhere in this country. I was harassed and followed by security once for birding at the Xeriscape
