Pawnee National Grassland Christmas Bird Counts Interest
Reaching out here to ascertain participation interest, in this era of COVID, for our four Pawnee CBCs. I am designing sections to be able to meet rules below.
12/16 Crow Valley (New)
12/23 Pawnee Buttes (New)
12/26 Nunn
1/2 Stoneham
Tentative Friends of the Pawnee National Grassland CBC Rules of Engagement:
Limited number of participants to reduce COVID risk and accomplish the count
We will be asking all participants to follow State of Colorado and Weld County mask and distancing rules
There will be no in-person gatherings, so no countdown dinners or compilation meet-ups
Social distancing and masking is required in the field
Equipment (binoculars, scopes, clipboards, etc.) is not to be shared except within your family group or social pod
There will be only one family group or social pod per assigned section of a CBC
If you are feeling sick, have a temperature or are showing COVID-19 symptoms within 48 hours of your start time, stay home
Carpooling may only occur within existing family or social pod groups
As an example, I will be covering an assigned section by myself. An existing family or social pod would cover an assigned section by themselves.
If you wish to participate on any/all of the four above let me know, "coloradobirder"
Yahoo! account. Trying to establish interest and headcount.
Did I leave out any reasonable "rules" other than above?
Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn
