[cobirds] More reasons to sign up for the RMBO Barbecue for the Birds, this Saturday

Thanks, Larry, for posting your warm invitation to this great and growing annual RMBO August tradition!

The Barbecue will be at the Old Stone House, which is close to Barr Lake.

In addition to the many events you mentioned, I am looking forward to the 11:10 AM presentation of 

the coveted Rich Levad Award. Rich Levad, as most of you know, was a giant in Colorado avian research,

with his strong work over many years on the Black Swift, "The Coolest Bird." Rich's efforts were  extended 

in recent years by Jason Beason, Kim Potter and Carolyn Gunn, who were able to pry open the previously secret

wintering ground of the Black Swift in South America.  A few years ago, when Rich Levad succumbed to ALS after a heroic

struggle, RMBO chose to present an annual Award in his memory. Karen Levad will be presenting it.

Yes, the food, the field trips, seminars, and auctions will be great, but I'd emphasize

that the camaraderie among birders at the event is a big reason to be there. See your friends and 

make new ones! Register on-line at RMBO.org today, where you can see the full schedule of events, 

a map showing how to get there, then join us in two days! Bring your binoculars, your appetite and a couple of friends.

Larry Modesitt has personally arranged for the weather to be quite pleasant. Thanks, Larry!

Joe Roller,
