Re: [cobirds] Re: Interpretation of state-wide Public Health Order

My understanding is same, BUT travel to different regions in state is prohibited.  E.g. people from Denver are not permitted to drive to the mountains to go birding; nor are they  permitted to drive to  El Paso County to look for a bird, regardless of social distancing.   Birding at local parks is permitted but they want people to try and stay in their local communities and parks when pursuing outdoor activities such as  birding.   

As someone who is immunocompromised and still enjoys watching bird behavior from my yard, it is possible to stay in your local neighborhood and/or parks for the sake of those of us who are at greatest risk from COVID-19.

Safe birding to all,

My interpretation of the latest state-wide public health order, now in place until April 11, is that it does permit recreation including birding, as long as group activities are avoided, and social distancing practices are in use. However, be smart, folks. Avoid ANY public areas where the pandemic virus may be lurking on surfaces, and stay home if you have symptoms. Stay home if you are in a high risk group. It is imperative that we slow the epidemic curve of this virus to avoid overwhelming the health care system.

This is my personal opinion.
