Allison,
Thank you.
As a healthcare worker and someone at high risk should I contract the virus, I implore all birders to not be traveling around the state birding.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME.
I have been watching this post all day, seeing people posting on social media behaving and not behaving the restrictions across the country. Towns across the nation are asking visitors to not come play in their communities, states are asking if coming from other states to self quarantine, the list goes on. It scares me to my core to think that my hospital here in Denver could face the same as those in states already hit extremely hard, if we ALL do not play our parts to stop the spread. Emergency room doctors and nurses are being exposed unknowingly to trauma patients whom have the virus. REMEMBER that you can have the virus, be asymptomatic, and spread it to anyone. REMBERER, if you are asymptomatic with the virus, decide to go look for a rare bird outside your city, you get in a car crash and expose the frontline providers in the ER in another town or rural community you have defeated the entire purpose of shelter in place. STAY HOME!! Bird you neighborhood parks, your yard, etc...
Colorado is being spared a huge outbreak so far, but lets all do our part to keep it that way.
Given the discussion here today and the desire for people to obviously try justifying their chasing...I would call for a no posting of the rare bird report for the next few weeks to stop the temptation.

Susan and others,If it makes you feel any better/worse I'm a retired Attorney. The law is clear, recreational activities are permitted in your neighborhood and region. The legal definition of REGION within a State is generally considered a County or City, if otherwise not defined. Given the State is dividing COVID-19 data available to public via COUNTY, I would say region means at furthest the COUNTY which you live in.A precise definition should not be required. People are supposed to be on the road to purchase food, medications, get medical help, assist others whom they care for, etc. IF the seriousness of the above restrictions doesn't imply stay off the road as much as possible to birders, I don't get it.Allison HilfAurora, CO--On Sun, Mar 29, 2020 at 11:18 AM Sebastian Patti <sebastianpatti@hotmail.com> wrote:--Send in the lawyers and the judges!!

Subject: Re: [cobirds] Interpretation of state-wide Public Health OrderThat's a good question. What is my region?
I've been mostly birding from my car. I do get out and walk around if there are NO humans around. I carry lots of hand sanitizer in my car, mainly to use at the gas station.
Thank you everyone for responding to my questions. I don't want to be breaking any laws!
