September 5th Saturday 2009 Wildlife Walk on Flagstaff Summit with Jeffry Mitton 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM Many of you know our host Jeff Mitton from his fascinating and informative pieces in the Boulder Daily Camera. He is a professor of Biology at CU in the Ecology and Evolution Department and he writes with authority on subjects from tiny bugs and wild flowers to the trees and wild animals that inhabit our foothills. If you have enjoyed reading his in depth closeups of wildlife in his column, you will certainly like hearing about how they interconnect in our world. This walk will have a wider focus than merely birds. Lonny Frye will colead in case we find some unusual birds that our host may be unfamiliar with. We will meet up at the parking area adjacent to the Flagstaff Nature Center at the Flagstaff Summit 3.5 miles up Flagstaff road at 8:00 AM and explore from there. Remember that out of Boulder county cars must pay parking fee($3.00) and the lot can be crowded. Call a friend to carpool. Bring the usual sun and weather protection and binocs, water, etc. For more info contact Lonny 303 931 9131 or lonny_f...@yahoo.com or mit...@colorado.edu Great birding to all this summer and I hope you can attend some of our trips.
