Here are a couple of June trips with the Boulder Bird Club that you may wish to know about. All our trips are open to everyone and we encourage birders of all levels of expertise to participate. You need not be a member and we would love to see you come along. Both of these trips are especially great for young birders. More information at our website www.boulderbirdclub.org in our newsletter. Lonny Frye Trip Coordinator for the Boulder Bird Club
Sunday June 13th, 2010 Birding Lyons Habitats 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Meet at the Lyons Park'n'Ride (4th and Main) at 8:30 and we will bird Old South Rd for breeding Canyon Wren, Cordilleran Flycatcher, White-throated Swift, etc. Davis will be ably assisted by Joel and Marcel Such, two fine young birders recognized by the ABA for their skills (see interview in Summer 2009 newsletter). All are welcome and we encourage young people to enjoy birding. Then head up to the Davis porch for sack lunch and observation of his 3 dozen nesting boxes and feeders. We can help him inventory where the bluebirds, wrens, swallows, woodpeckers, and others are nesting. Be done by 1:30 or so. Bring your lunch and water and be prepared for an easy walk and a nice morning with some great birders.

Spring moisture will bring the blossoms and insects, plenty to eat for the bluebirds. We are having this enjoyable bird walk somewhat later to take advantage of the plethora of butterflies in early summer. Of course, bird - watching will be equally encouraged as we hike down towards the cool stream. Bring a butterfly guide if you have one, binoculars, sun and rain protection, lunch and water. Meet at 8:00 AM at the Safeway Store, north parking lot Iris and 28th Street to carpool. The drive is about 50 minutes each way. Cal-Wood is a 1,000 acre montane meadow and ponderosa pine forest which is preserved with a Conservation Easement, so it is isolated, unique and protected. Young people are welcome. Leave Cal-Wood, by 1:00 PM. Leader: Jan Chu, 303-494-1108 or email at chuho...@hotmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
