Meet Angela Grun
The Beginning Birding Class with Denver Audubon had me hooked over ten years ago. My favorite bird is the American Goldfinch. I am working on improving my identification of swallows. Sparrows continue to challenge me and I find sketching them is helpful.
I like to lead local trips at present. Not more than three hours. I enjoy bird counts when I need to focus and count everything. Hiking for about three miles is about my maximum especially if the terrain is steep. I like to bird with a mixed group of birding abilities. More eyes and ears are helpful.
I play bridge and I enjoy wild flowers, especially native plants.
Meet David Suddjian
I've been birding for over 35 years, beginning in California, and in Colorado since 2013. I coordinated DFO's Big Year 2018, leading 81 field trips for DFO that year. I love eBirding, and counting birds.
I lead all kinds of trips from low key local outings near my Ken Caryl JeffCo home to intense far ranging trips reaching out to all corners of the state. Overnight trips go to classic Colorado birding locations, and sometimes we even camp! I like to explore areas, county birding, back roads, cemeteries and sewage lagoons, developing birding by ear skills, and helping birders to appreciate the patterns of migration, seasonal occurrence and habitat associations. I love the camaraderie of DFO field trips, the new friendships that grow, and the opportunities for birders to have FUN in the field!
