Durango Dipper Count
February 10 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Count Moved to Sunday, February 11
We’re excited to join members of the Durango Dipper Lovers for a fun day conducting the annual winter dipper count on the Animas River on February 11 at 10 am. We’ll meet on the river trail in front of the Powerhouse and plan to break into groups to cover different sections of the river. Expect to spend about three hours walking the river trail and observing.
Bring binoculars, water, and snacks, and of course, weather-appropriate garb. If weather is forecast to be much too stormy on Saturday, we’ll email by Friday afternoon. If that’s the case, please save Sunday, Feb. 11 as an alternate day, at the same time and place.
This is the seventh year for the winter dipper count, and the ninth year since starting the American Dipper Project. We’re gearing up for spring nesting season, and hope you can help to monitor nest success of dippers again this coming season.
Feel free to invite anyone who might want to join the project this spring! See you on February 11, and feel free to contact us with any questions. If you plan to attend, please let Steve and Shelley know to expect you with an email to them at sm3662@gmail.com.
