Cobirds:
Here are the results from the Boulder County Audubon
Trip to Pawnee Grasslands. The weather was nasty, but that didn't
stop the birds.
Notes: there is NO gas station in Briggsdale. There is
a new restroom facility at Grover in the city park. Several of the
roads (especially Road 69 north south) have been turned into a mess of
mud and construction - high clearance vechicles only!
