Field trip announcement: Great Boulder Caper, Fri., Nov. 28

[Ted Floyd]

Hello, Birders.

Join the Boulder Bird Club for the 4th annual Great Boulder Caper, Black Friday, Nov. 28, 2014. The capering starts at 7:30 a.m. at Cottonwood Marsh, off 75th St., in eastern Boulder County. We'll (mostly) bird all day, (constantly) eat leftovers, and (maybe) even go shopping. Birders of all interest levels are welcome; non-birding companions and general curiosity-seekers are especially welcome. You don't have to be with us all day; like Huckleberry Finn, you may come and go as you please. Some amount of jury-rigged carpooling is inevitable. 

As to the birding, we can expect good numbers and diversity of ducks; grebes and maybe a loon or two; lots of gulls; and diverse land birds. We'll be out at an excellent time of year for Swamp Sparrows and Marsh Wrens. With so many eyes and ears--and tryptophan-fueled imaginations--we're likely to find a rarity or two. Here's a recap of last year's Caper:

I hope to see many of you on Black Friday!
