Denver Field Ornithologists December 2009 Field Trips Saturday, December 12 Fort Collins Lakes Leader: Paul Slingsby, (303) 422-3728. Meet leader at 0800 at the Big Dry Creek Park parking lot: from I-25 exit 223 (120th Ave.). Travel west on 120th Ave. about 0.5 miles to Huron St. Turn right (north) on Huron and proceed north to 128th Ave.; turn left (west) on 128th Ave. and look for the Park entrance about 0.2 mile on your left ( you will see a rather large circular fenced-in dog run before the entrance). From there we will carpool and head north to the Loveland-Fort Collins area stopping at various lakes for wintering waterfowl, Bald Eagles and other raptors, gulls, and that ever-possible rarity. We'll eat lunch someplace warm, so you can either bring a lunch or buy one at a local grocery. We should be back in the Metro area before rush-hour. Bring a scope and radios if you have them, and please notify Paul if you plan to attend.
