The Great Boulder Caper is upon us: Fri., Nov. 28

[Ted Floyd]

Hello, Birders.

Just a quick reminder that the fourth annual Great Boulder Caper is a "go" for the coming Black Friday, Nov. 28th. We will begin to caper at Cottonwood Marsh (Walden Ponds) off 75th St. at 7:30 a.m. The weather will be ridiculously nice, sunny with a high near 70 and balmy zephyrs out of the southwest. Surely you'd rather be out with cheery birders and beautiful birds than inside the mall being trampled by surly shoppers? Well, what are you waiting for! Come caper with us! We'll see you all in Boulder on Friday morning.

No RSVP required. The outing, sponsored by the Boulder Bird Club, is free and open to the public. Full details here:

P.s. While scouting yesterday evening for the Caper (the things we do for you people...), Hannah and Andrew and I confirmed that the long-present Golden-crowned Sparrow remains near Teller Lake No. 5, off Valmont Road. This is what a Golden-crowned Sparrow looks like hiding in a juniper well after sundown, seen through a cell phone: http://tinyurl.com/GCSp-teller
