COBirders- Just a reminder that the 28th Annual Spring Bird Counts will be this weekend (see list below). I will be coordinating the Cherry Creek State Park count on MONDAY May 11. There are no fees or pre-registration requirements (however, some counts require a State Parks Pass). For the Cherry Creek Count we will meet at the Marina (near the west end park entrance) at 6:30 AM on Monday May 11. You can plan on joining us for a few hours in the AM or for the whole day. For those of you that stick it out for most of the day -- I will host a post-count gathering at a local Mexican restaurant (yes, you can consider this bribery -- there will be free food and beverages). If you think you might be able to participate in the count, please try and notify Allison Hilf in advance at (303) 888 5110 (or at _ah...@aol.com)._ (mailto:ah...@aol.com).)
