Habitats to bird: Developed, Grassland, Scrub, Wetland
Recent sightings at the Park include Western Cattle Egret and Cassin's Kingbird! This field trip, supporting the Denver Audubon Denver Bird Project, is part of collective effort by the organization to understand and protect Denver's urban wildlife. The 155 acre Park has, for the most part, been undisturbed, and generally underbirded due to inaccessibility, since the Park Hill Golf Course closed in 2018. This month, we hope to see the large stormwater wetlands retention area and associated drainage and pond at the north and east areas of the park come alive with late spring and early summer species! Spring rains and an improved sprinkler system have encouraged vegetation supporting bird habitat. In addition to mature trees throughout, and there are feeders in the SE area of the park at the adjacent homes. There is very little historical data for this area, so this is not only an important project, but an adventure in urban birding! Wear layers, good shoes, a hat, sunscreen, bring water and a snack, binoculars and a camera if you wish. It might be buggy, so be prepared. Field trip leader will bring a scope. Rated easy, although there will be quite a bit of bushwacking on level ground. There are no toilets at the Park, come prepared!
