[cobirds] Migration of RMBO

Cobirders,

 

Since many Cobirders have a connection with Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory—as members, volunteers, supporters, and followers of RMBO's blog and Facebook—I'd like to announce that RMBO is migrating. On August 31, we became Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. 

 

We will crow about our new slogan, Connecting people, birds and land. Our mission, however, remains the same: We are committed to conserving birds and their habitats through science, education and land stewardship.

 

We outgrew our founding name, Colorado Bird Observatory, over fifteen years ago. Fledging from the Barr Lake State Park trailer way back in 1988, when we were Colorado Bird Observatory, we've now flown to thirteen western states and seven in Mexico.

 

Take a gander at our new website, BirdConservancy.org, for a bird's-eye view of our bright, new logo and our many programs in science, education, stewardship, and international.  Let me know what you think of our new logo, pulled into view by our previous logo bird, the MacGillivray's Warbler. 

 

Why are we migrating? Our new name more accurately and completely reflects who we are. We continue with robust bird population monitoring, bird banding, citizen science and education programs. But after more than 25 years of progress, we are so much more now, with cutting-edge avian research, and collaborative work with private and public landowners throughout the western U.S. and Mexico.

 

What if you forget and still call "RMBO?" We will still answer to that, and even endorse checks made out to RMBO! Our old website, www.rmbo.org, will wing you to www.birdconservancy.org faster than a Black Swift.                          .

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. We remain committed to conserving birds and their habitats, so that you and generations to come will continue to enjoy our feathered friends.

 

Larry Modesitt

Chairman, Board of Directors

Bird Conservancy of the Rockies
