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.

Upcoming Bird Walks


Friday, October 24th, at 8 a.m. – Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge

Refuge lakes provide a haven for migrating waterfowl such as northern pintails, northern shovelers, redheads, and ring-necked ducks. More than 330 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish call the refuge their home. We will hike about 2 miles on improved trails. Bring binoculars, water, snacks, and a scope if you have one. Restrooms are available at the Visitor’s Center.

Location:Meet at the Visitor Center parking lot. From Quebec Street, turn east on Prairie Parkway, then turn north on Gateway Road to the Refuge entrance. Admission is free.

Leader: Mike Artmann

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
