Habitats to bird: Reservoir, Riparian
We will explore winter birds along the South Platte River as well as the ecology and history of this highly modified area. Winter waterfowl will dominate what we are likely to see. This area is a good one to find Barrows-Goldeneye in the winter in Denver. Hopefully some songbirds will be along the river's edge and there is always a chance for a passing hawk/eagle. We will observe the Bald Eagles nesting to the east if it is in use and talk about eagle recovery in Colorado. Our morning will be walking while birding about 2 miles or so along level ground for the most part. Scopes are useful but optional. The leader will have a scope. There is a bathroom at the parking lot where we gather.
