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.
Upcoming Bird Walks

Bring binoculars, water, snacks, and a scope if you have one. Restrooms are available at the Visitor’s Center.

Saturday, November 22,nd, at 8 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. – Metzger Farm Open Space
Join us for a birding trip to Metzger Farm Open Space, a beautiful property jointly managed by Broomfield and Westminster in Adams County. As we explore the trails, we’ll look for wintering sparrows such as White-crowned Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, American Tree Sparrow, and Spotted Towhee, with hopes of spotting less common species like Swamp Sparrow or White-throated Sparrow. Year-round residents will also be active, and with a bit of luck, we might catch sight of a more unexpected bird along Big Dry Creek or flying overhead. We’ll meet at the Metzger Farm Open Space parking lot to begin our walk. There is a porta potty there for restroom needs.
Location:12080 Lowell Blvd, Broomfield.
Leader: Brian Genge
