Re: [cobirds] food for thought corrections

One of my very first encounters with flashing lighted vehicles stopping me was in Nunn on the way to Pawnee with Ron Ryder on our way to Pawnee in 1976.  For those of you who have ridden with Ron, you will be likely as stunned as I was that he was being pulled over for anything.  The deputy came up and said  "Sorry to pull you over Dr. Ryder but my mom wanted me to tell you about the shrike in her barn".   Of course... APB on Ron Ryder!!

All,

Sorry about the formatting issue of my recent email that maybe cut off the right side of a couple photos on your screen.  What things look like when I push “Send” is never what it looks like when received.  If you meet the person who does this to us………………

 

The common name for our earless lizard in CO is Common (not “Prairie”) Earless Lizard.  This important creature also goes by Lesser Earless Lizard and Western Earless Lizard.  The ornithological powers that be mess with common names, which is frustrating, but at least when they decide on one, it is the only accepted common name.  That is, until their next meeting.

 

And the town east of Crom Lake is Pierce (NEVER speed in Pierce, Nunn or Ault).  Next time you’re in Nunn, take a look at their beautiful, shiny Town Hall.  I paid for it.
