Re: [cobirds] CFO Convention Highlights

Oops. Make that *Black* Terns. My bad.

Oh, and Todd, as to your 18 Mississippi Kites... What can I say?--I was with the slackers. We were too lazy to count past 12... ;-)

Say, over at CFO's Facebook home, folks are posting great photos and stories from the convention. See for yourself:

Keeping the thread going---

 

·         Establishing Logan County Road 93 as one of the premier birding runs in Colorado with Greater Prairie Chicken, Baird's Sparrow and Eastern Wood-Pewee all reported along the Grasshopper Sparrow Highway during the convention. 

 

·         Confirming Riverside Reservoir as this year's shorebird hotspot, but you've got to come to the convention to gain access to spots like this, Fox Ranch and Muir Springs.

 

·         Palpitating the heart through Close Encounters of the Plains Rattlesnake Kind—I was within an inch on one at Red Lion; Amber Carver did me an inch better by stepping on one at Lake McConaughy, NE.  (No wounds inflicted in either case!)

 

·         Oohing and aahing at Jackson Trappett's photos of the adult Long-tailed Jaeger the Nebraska trip participants all got to see at Lake Ogallala.

 

·         Seeing over 100 CFO convention attendees eating on either Friday or Sunday at Gallagher's River City Grill—my favorite spot in Sterling.

 

But, Ted, were there really Least Tern's galore at Tinmath?

 

Come join us at the 2015 CFO Convention in Salida (for the first time ever), June 4-7.
