Hi CoBirders --

Bluff Lake Nature Center, an urban wildlife refuge along Sand Creek in Stapleton, is looking for a used spotting scope. We would love a donation, but are willing to pay as well. I figured I would ask the birding community -- if you have an unused scope, would you consider giving it a new home, where it would be used most days of the week?

The need for a scope was made abundantly clear this morning as I asked group after group of second graders to look at a distant nest, telling them that the lump on top was a female great horned owl and her chicks. You can imagine how much more powerful the experience would have been if they could have looked through a scope.

Thanks for your consideration,

PS On your upcoming visits to Bluff Lake, be on the lookout for a new bird checklist for the refuge.
