DFO crosses 200 and celebrates with Wild Turkey on the rocks! Plus 2 new May trips open!

[David Suddjian]

This week's DFO trip to southeastern Colorado helped us to zoom past 200 species for the DFO Big Year 2018. It was at Two Buttes in Baca County that Nor. Rough-winged Swallow took the #200 honors (if my calculations are correct... our Big Year page is not yet updated). And we all soon after celebrated with a Wild Turkey on the rocks to celebrate. It is a great way to start the morning!  I think the Big Year stood at 208 following that trip. (Photo by Diane Roberts)

DFO has added two new trips to its May schedule, now available here for registration:

May 1 - Southeastern Colorado focused on Otero and Crowley counties.

May 22 - Southwestern Metro Area

And you will see that on overnight to Grand Junction area in early June is already available for registration, as we seek to make overnight trips available a little earlier than the usual one month.

Ah, now that the DFO web page has updated with the current Big Year results I see I was incorrect - our #200 for the DFO Big Year 2018 was actually Greater Roadrunner, also at Two Buttes, which also preceded the celebration with the Wild Turkey on the rocks, as it turns out.
