Folks,
Much of the area between Plainview Rd and Hwy 93, north of Hwy 72, in Jefferson County is off limits to the public. The area recently described by Joe Roller IS open to passive recreation. Since a BAIRD'S SPARROW was photographed there today by someone looking for the previously reported Dickcissel (see the CFO Facebook page), I thought it appropriate to inform folks of what is actually legitimate birding territory. All City of Boulder properties adjacent to this area are closed to the public. If you find yourself in the riparian corridor, you are in a CLOSED area. Please respect these management designations, which protect a diverse avifauna, support a globally imperiled grassland community, and provide important cover for a local herd of calving wapiti. A good map can be seen here: https://www.jeffco.us/1203/Coal-Creek-Canyon-Study-Area The BAIRD'S SPARROW was seen right at the dirt pull off by the buck-n-rail fence, as far as I can gather, which is well within the allowable birding territory.
