This trip is limited to the first 8 registrations.
The goal of this trip will be to experience three different habitats in Jefferson County. We hope this will enable us to see a great variety of birds. The trip starts at Chatfield Audubon Center, from there we will experience birds of the foothills at South Valley Park, and finally head to the mountains at Meyer Ranch Open Space. Some of our target birds will be Red-eyed Vireo, American Redstart, Prairie Falcon, and American Three-toed Woodpecker. Hiking at the Audubon trails can be muddy and include some less than friendly plants (long pants advised). This trip does include a good amount of walking/hiking, about 5-6 miles in total. We will be walking at a birding pace, but Meyer Ranch includes long sections of uphill hiking. Birding in different habitats will provide us with a great variety of birds, but also will require us to be prepared with layers, sunscreen, water, and lunch. We will do our best to carpool so please bring a few dollars to chip in for a driver, it shouldn't be more than 50 miles round trip.
