Trip Leader: Ted Floyd

Happy New Year everyone! We're starting our 8th year with a very special outing led by Ted Floyd, the Editor of Birding magazine, the award-winning flagship publication of the American Birding Association. He has written five books on birds, including the Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America (2008) and How to Know the Birds (National Geographic 2019). If you attended our 7th anniversary party last July, you know that Ted is the best of the best and we are very lucky that he will share his knowledge and experience with us at Waneka Lake

To get to the Waneka Lake parking lot from Boulder, get on South Boulder Rd. going east. Drive for about 7 miles until you go two blocks past Centaurus High School to the traffic light at the intersection of South Boulder Rd. and Centaur Village Drive. At that light, turn left and go 3 blocks north to the three-way stop sign at Caria Drive; turn right onto Caria and go east for 3/8 of a mile to Emma St. There you will see the parking lot to the left where we will meet. Extra binoculars will be available to borrow. All birding levels are welcome.

After birding for a couple of hours, we will go to Liquid Mechanics Brewing Co. There we have reserved a private room for our group. You pay for your own drinks and BCAS will provide us with some appetizers to enjoy. See you soon!

Where to meet: Meet at the parking lot at Emma Street and Caria Drive, on the east side of Waneka Lake (on google maps it shows a Disc Golf Course at the parking lot location). Liquid Mechanics Brewing Co. is nearby at 297 US 287 #100 (map).
