City has lifted some seasonal raptor closures early
Jul 27th
This year marked another successful season for raptors nesting on OSMP. Four Peregrine Falcon pairs nesting in the mountain backdrop produced ten fledglings, making it the most productive year for this species since monitoring began. Unfortunately, Golden Eagle productivity on OSMP was low, as it was all around Boulder County. Of particular interest to OSMP, in terms of ground-nesting birds, was the influx of Cassin’s Sparrows to the grasslands. Staff detected approximately 30 Cassin’s Sparrows during seasonal monitoring. Cassin’s Sparrows are more common in southeast Colorado and it is possible that ongoing drought conditions in that area are forcing them north and west.
The City of Boulder has been monitoring raptor nesting and roosting areas since 1984. It has become an important part of protecting the species in the area. In 2011, OSMP volunteers logged more than 600 hours monitoring cliff-nesting raptor sites. They are an integral part of the success of this program. OSMP relies heavily on the public to respect the closures. The cooperation of visitors to these areas is greatly appreciated.

A little bit about Boulder’s long lasting greasy spoon, this time it’s on Game Day for the CU Buffaloes, we went in for some breakfast and a pep rally broke out. OMG this place is fun.

Most business owners don’t have time to fool around with twitter, facebook, a blog, a website, yelp, linkedin, video, photos and God knows what else. YOU’RE BUSY RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS. I hear it all of the time. Then you hire some SM ( social media ) know it all who builds you a bunch of pretty stuff which is way over priced,.but you have no time to mess with it and it sits there. Or it costs a fortune to have some 30 per hour geek run it and you say To heck with it!! Right? And you are right.Business owner. You spend all this time with sm and it gets you nothing!
. We at Boulder channel 1 have a list of long time Boulder customers who were fed up with the SM hustle and we fixed everything.
