Participate in the Annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, a census of birds in the Western Hemisphere performed annually by volunteer birdwatchers and administered by the National Audubon Society. The purpose is to provide population data for use in science, especially conservation biology.
School is out and birds are in! Start off the new year with Bird Conservancy's first-ever Birds of Winter Camp. Join us as we explore what it takes for birds to survive the winter at Barr Lake. Campers will hone their birding skills along our local trails, discover what resources wintering birds need through fun and interactive activities, create bird-themed crafts, and much more! Come and make new friends at Bird Camp. Register Today!
Join local families and naturalists from Bird Conservancy of the Rockies for a Christmas Bird Count held especially for kids! The event

She'll share techniques for identifying unfamiliar birds and characteristics of familiar species of birds.
Bird Conservancy of the Rockies’ Bald Eagle Watch program was started in 1988 to monitor and help protect the Bald Eagle nest at Barr Lake State Park northeast of Denver. Now, citizen scientists with the Bird Conservancy monitor eagle nests across the Front Range to provide information to biologists on the nesting success of the Colorado population.
Join us for a relaxing, fun bird walk to meet other volunteers and staff. We'll meet at the Environmental Learning Center at 9 a.m. and conclude our walk at 10 a.m. Please dress to be outside and bring a water bottle and your binoculars. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions! We hope to see you there!...

Join us for a special presentation by award-winning photographer Noppadol Paothong as he presents the extraordinary story of life, natural history and the unique spring courtship behaviors of sage-grouse as captured in his latest book Sage Grouse, Icon of the West.
Award-winning photographer Noppadol Paothong is striving to rescue grassland grouse from the brink of extinction by showing the world what it stands to lose if these species are allowed to disappear forever. His book, Save the Last Dance: A Story of North American Grassland Grouse, captures the dazzling beauty of seven grouse species whose populations are diminishing across the prairies and plains of America— and one species that has already lost its battle for survival. The book also shares the conservation efforts underway to save these species.
