[cobirds] Dr. Weber talk, Boulder, 1/10/2013

BCNA Winter Program
Bird Count Retrospective
with Dr. William Weber

Though best known as the dean of Colorado botanists and founder of the
University of Colorado herbarium, Bill Weber has been a birder and
naturalist all his life, beginning in the 1930s when he founded the
Sialis Bird Club in Bronx Park. He and his young friends were actually
responsible for the "Wooden Dovekie" incident of the Christmas Census.
His notebooks from those early years have contributed to a new book by
Paul Buckley on early birding in the New York City area.

Dr. Weber, now 94, will share stories from those early years. In the
spirit of the occasion, we will also discuss results of the 2012
Boulder Christmas Bird Count, conducted on December 16. Copies of Dr.
Weber's seminal field guide, Colorado Flora, Eastern Slope, will be
available for purchase and signing.
Join us on Thursday, January 10, 7 p.m. George Reynolds Branch
Library, Table Mesa Drive opposite King Soopers.
