Thousands of geese fly from Aurora Reservoir on Jan. 9 in Aurora. Denver Field Ornithologists, a group of Colorado birders, is chasing a “big group year,” meaning its members are trying to spot as many bird species as it can in 2018.

Re: “These Denver birders are trying to turn 2018 into a ‘big year’ by seeing as many species as they can,” Jan. 26 Life & Culture story.

This short note is to compliment you on the overall presentation of the news and other information that is of public interest. Very important are the pieces on the local, state or national level that provide information and news about other than the usual political affairs, wars, shootings, burglaries, etc. It is a good day at our house when we can read the front part of the newspaper, or any other section, with genuine relish for the positive nature of the story. This reaffirms our belief that despite all the bad stuff, there is good stuff out there. A good example of this kind of reporting is the piece in last Saturday’s paper on the “big year” in Colorado. Great writing by Jenn Fields and beautiful photo by RJ Sangosti.

We hope that you will continue to publish newspapers in this vein. We are home delivery subscribers and cannot imagine a morning without our newspaper. Thank you for all the good and hard work.
