Purple Sandpiper article in today's Denver Post

[Ted Floyd]

Hey, everybody.

There's good coverage in this morning's Denver Post of the Summit County Purple Sandpiper:

Duane Nelson earlier made the important point that "[w]e, as birders, are under the scrutiny of a much larger audience," and it's nice to see the positive perspective of Denver Post writer Jason Blevins.

I'm especially gratified to see the announcements on COBirds regarding ride-sharing to see the sandpiper; our day-to-day "green" decisions and lifestyles are ultimate the most important thing we can do for birds and the ecosystems they depend on.
