[cobirds] Potential New Birding Location(?)/Weld

Hi all

Just saw this ... on GOCO site:

"Shurview/Missile Site Bluffs Open Space, $1,500,000 to The Trust for Public Land 

The grant will help the Trust for Public Land, the City of Greeley, and the Town of Windsor conserve the 978-acre Shurview/Missile Site Bluffs property, located between Windsor and Greeley along Highway 257 in Weld County. This property is the last remaining large parcel of land with significant conservation value along this corridor, providing a buffer and scenic views for the communities. It houses a range of wildlife species and also plays an important role in managing storm water and irrigation runoff and preventing soil erosion. The Shurview acquisition is expected to close in March 2022."

Thanks

Since no one has yet posted this here, I thought I'd share this tremendous news.   The incomparable Coen Dexter and Brenda Wright discovered a RUFOUS-BACKED ROBIN at Denny Lake Park in Cortez in MONTEZUMA COUNTY this morning.

[cobirds] Colorado Christmas Bird Count results so far

So far, with results from 32 Colorado Christmas Bird Counts entered into the CBC Website we have 193 count day species, and three others for count week only. I think we are certainly on the way to 200+ species again this year, with many count results still coming in.

then click on Country and enter Unitied States, and then click on State and enter Colorado, and all the counts will come up.

If you see any errors on any counts from Colorado from this winter, please let me know, so I look into them. I haven't actually counted all the species reported, for each count yet, if I get a different total, than what is being reported, I will be contacting compilers, to see if something is missing on the list, as sometimes the number entered, doesn't save, so the species total reported can be different, than what is on the CBC website.
