[Birdtalk] Capitol Reef-Torrey field trip info

[L.D. Giddings]

The UCB are sponsoring a field trip this Saturday to the Capitol Reef 
and Torrey areas. Previous notes have described lodging accommodations 
for those of you who are planning on traveling down Friday night, 
although there are also other overnight options available that you may 
feel free to arrange on your own. While there are no formal activities 
planned either for Friday or for Sunday, I invite you to make the trip 
as long or as short as your schedule will permit.

The group will leave the Capitol Reef NP Visitor's Center at 8:00 a.m. 
Saturday morning. This will give the birds time to wake up, the day a 
chance to warm up, and those of you who would like to drive down early 
Saturday morning a bit of a break. I anticipate that the field trip will 
end some time between 4:00 p.m. and sunset, although you should feel 
free to leave earlier if necessary. I expect most or all of the field 
trip to be on paved or graded gravel roads. The weather gods appear - at 
this time - to be smiling on us and we should enjoy a marvelous day 
birding this seldom birded area of the state.

If you have questions please feel free to contact me but I suggest you 
do so by email as I only check my answering machine on roughly an annual 
basis, if at all.


Thanks,

Lu Giddings
