Meet Cynthia Breidenbach
Call me Cindy! My birding adventure began by monitoring bird boxes with my daughter's Girl Scout troop about 15 years ago. Such fun for me and hopefully the girls too! In the past six years I have been participating in bird walks regularly with South Platte Park, Denver Field Ornithologists, Majestic View Nature Center and Audubon as well as taking the Audubon Naturalist Class. In 2023 I wanted to become a volunteer that is outdoors and leading groups so I applied for the Audubon Master Birder Class and was accepted. Now that I have completed the class, I am excited to be leading bird walks enjoying my time with other people who also enjoy identifying birds and their habitats!
I plan to lead trips around the Denver metro area that are 2-3 miles of hiking. My favorite places to go are South Platte Park, Waterton Canyon, Audubon Nature Center, South Valley Park, and Roxborough State Park. All close to my home in Littleton.
Meet Joey Kellner
I've been birding Colorado since the early 1980's and and leading DFO field trips since 1989. In the 1990's I've branched out to other states to include Arizona, Florida, Michigan/Ohio, California and Alaska. Colorado being my favorite, but Arizona is a VERY close second!
I enjoy leading trips further afield to locations that most people do not go. For example, isolated migrant "traps" in northeastern Colorado and the lakes of South Park. Discovering a common bird in an unusual location is just as much a thrill as seeing a rare bird. In the last two decades I've also gotten into "herping" searching for native reptiles and amphibians.
