Happy new year, everyone,
We will start it out with a visit to one of Boulder County's favorites: Walden Ponds. Jim Fischer has kindly offered to lead us. He's a long-time birder with sightings in over 40 countries and a knowledgeable, fun guide.

At Walden we should see species of waterfowl, raptors, woodpeckers, icterids, sparrows, and others in the varied habitats. We will have loaner binoculars if you don't have your own. Please bring a scope if you have one.

After birding for a couple of hours, we'll head to Wild Provisions for some socializing and snacks provided by Boulder County Audubon Society. This brewery touts its Czech-style lagers and wild-fermented craft beers. We have reserved the private room for our group. Plan to purchase your own drinks.

Where to Meet
