[cobirds] Re: Weld County Spring Birds

Hi all

To continue about the ethics of entering oil and gas operations access roads ... "Birders were out birding the other day and drove that oil road behind Behrens Res. again. The farmer came out on a motorcycle and said it is private and went on and on about people (not birders) causing problems back there. He's considering putting up a no trespassing sign."  Sounds like birders behave.  :-)

I "assume" the same access issues for the oil and gas access road on east side of Loloff Reservoir.  When in doubt about access ask the locals would be my advice--they would probably allow access knowing who is going back there.

Just an FYI ...

We told him we would leave immediately and he said we could look as he knows my car now. We left immediately. We will not drive that road again.

Ethics issues/questions:

• Saw two birders blatantly trespassing in LaSalle-area hot spot.  It is an oil and gas service/ranching road which also had no trespass sign at the access entrance-in talking with the local birders above they mentioned the two birders said they were not from the area
• Question: Is the oil and gas service road on east side of Behrens Reservoir public access?  Does not have No Trespass sign.
  
• Question: Is the oil and gas road on east side of Loloff Reservoir public access?  Does not have No Trespass sign.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
