Birding and Birders in Boulder County: Past, Present, and Future
Fifteen years ago, Ted Floyd moved to Boulder County. At the time, nobody had ever seen a collared-dove in the county, nobody had Cackling Goose on their life list, and nobody had ever heard of a Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay. Times have changed: Today Bushtits swarm the county's eastern lowlands, Black-chinned Hummingbirds are widespread breeders, and Lesser Black-backed Gulls don't even raise an eyebrow. In this presentation, Ted will review some recent changes to our avifauna, and he will gaze into his crystal ball and tell us what lies ahead.
