[cobirds] Re: Colorado Rare Bird Alert for Monday, May 27, 2019

Joe-

Things are finally quieting down the last few days.   Given bird's are moving, I haven't been leaving them more than 4-5 days if not seen again.

I've been ignoring so many Nashville and stopped Northern Parula. And most Black and White Warbler a while ago.   Trying to list warblers as people are chasing them and seem to finally appreciate RBA.

Looking at June schedule perhaps Gregg will split that third week in June (he could do 10-11 days instead of 7, then you would only have 10-11 days to follow?)

I'll send note to Cheryl again, perhaps she's still out of town.
