CFO Big Night, June 9-10, Boulder County

[Ted Floyd]

Trip Announcement:

Join insomniacs Ted Floyd and Andrew Floyd for this zany annual exercise in sleep deprivation, general mirth, and great birding. We start at sunset on Friday, June 9; we bird till sunrise on Saturday, June 10. Meeting place in eastern Boulder County to be determined; itinerary improvised as we go along. Participants must be willing to carpool, able to postpone sleep indefinitely, and possessed of unfailing good cheer. The Big Night is free and open to the public, but the number of spaces is limited; RSVP required. Before you say "yes," please consider that we will be walking many miles through mosquito-filled marshes and on steep mountain trails in the dark. This trip is ideal for people who are adventurous and mildly insane; young people and curiosity-seekers welcome; artificial lighting prohibited. Bring your own Kombucha and quinoa; share with leaders.

We will have a full moon all night, and we will be birding at the best possible time of year for hearing and even seeing owls, nightjars, bitterns, rails, night-singing passerines, and more. Here's the recap from last year's Big Night: http://blog.aba.org/2016/06/the-big-night-take-2.html.
