Hudsonian Godwit Bent County Colorado

[Janeal Thompson]

I have asked to post the following for a private landowners in Bent County, Mr. and Mrs. Lance Verhoeff.  Unfortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Verhoeff have had birders and even two vans with 16 people on their property without permission.  I would ask that the birding community please respect private property rights.  Although a property may not have  signs posted, it is of the utmost importance that you have permission to bird on private property.  Thanks.

As per Mr. Verhoeff: 

"A Hudsonian Godwit has been spotted in the flooded fields adjacent to county roads 26.5 and JJ.  Please be aware that the surrounded fields and farm roads are private and no trespassing will be tolerated."

"Lance Verhoeff is a friend of mine and invited me to come see the bird on May 5th The county road was very muddy that day and Lance and his wife were kind enough the show me where the bird was and take me in their vehicles to to see it. Please do not go onto their property to go to see the bird."

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
