About Your Trip Leader

Meet Jordan Gerue

Jordan Gerue

🇺🇸 English 🇲🇽 Español ~~ I started birding during pandemic lockdown and what started as a hobby quickly spiraled into an obsession and life-long passion. The majority of my birding experience has been here in the Front Range and I love the great variety of birds we get to enjoy from plains to peaks in Colorado.

I am a guide for Denver Audubon and DFO and lead co-sponsored trips between the two organizations. Most of my trips are fairly short and relaxed, and often include social aspects such as coffee afterwards. I enjoy birding with beginners and seasoned pros and strongly believe we can all learn from each other each time we go out in the field.

My interest in birding grew out of a life-long interest in nature and natural history. I’ve been actively birding since 2015 and joined DFO a year later in 2016. Most of my birding experience has been patch birding in the Denver metro area. I enjoy birding year-round and getting to know the common birds.

I plan to start out leading trips to the places I know best. An ideal field trip to me involves walking several miles over a few hours, taking time to observe interesting bird behavior. I prefer to lead smaller groups. I typically can't be out birding all day, so my trips will be on the shorter end of the spectrum. In addition to knowing the birds I also enjoy learning about geology, native plants and insects.
