DON'T GO SHOPPING on Black Friday! Instead, join Colorado Field Ornithologists for the GREAT BOULDER CAPER, free & open to the public. A few years ago on the caper, we found this MANDARIN DUCK! Take THAT, Central Park! Details on next week's caper: tinyurl.com/y95gosgp

Happy 50th anniversary to the launch of the Apollo 10 mission! This mission was the second to orbit the Moon, and made our Moon landing two months later possible. I’ve always loved their call signs – Snoopy and Charlie Brown!

Hopefully you won't need to lick the back of my head to put it on your envelope 😁
