Bird Walks
Let’s look and listen for wild birds! Our informal bird walks are open to everyone, from veteran birders to those venturing out for the first time. Most trips are led by an experienced birder.
- All members and guests MUST register to attend a bird walk. Members who have paid their annual dues will be given preference for all field trips.
- If plans change and you can’t attend, please cancel your reservation so someone else can fill the spot.
- Anyone under age 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Except for service dogs, pets are NOT permitted.
- Bring your own water, hat, sunscreen, binoculars, and field guide or birding app.
- Every participant must have a liability waiver on file so you are eligible to attend this and future field trips. A copy of the waiver will be available when you attend your first bird walk.
- We limit the number of attendees on our field trips to provide a quality experience for everyone. Members who have paid their annual dues will be given preference. We welcome non-members for their first walk without requiring membership. If you wish to go on walks after that, we respectfully ask that you register as a member. The $20 membership fee covers the individual and family members living in their household.
Upcoming Bird Walks
Wednesday, July 22, at 8:00 am - Summer Hummers in Lyons,
Colorado hosts four primary species of hummingbirds: The Broad-tailed, Black-Chinned, Rufous and Calliope. The former two are summer breeders in our state, while the Rufous and Calliope migrate through during summer and fall. Join us when we visit a private home in Lyons where our host has a deck with feeders attracting hummers and other bird species. If we’re lucky, we’ll see all four species of Colorado hummingbirds! This is a great opportunity for photographers to get pictures up close. Minimal walking is involved.
NOTE: Please sign up only if you are serious about committing to go. It’s understandable that last-minute cancellations sometimes can’t be helped. However, if you are signing up to ‘save a spot’ to consider for your calendar later on, it is not fair to those who are put on a waiting list.
Location: About 10 minutes from Lyons. Directions will be provided after registration.
Leader: Pete Ruprecht
The Walk is limited to 12 participants.
There are currently 7 people registered for the Walk.
Contact: Karen to register for the Walk.
