Summary

Enjoy a 3-hour birding trip in Roxborough State Park.

Description

join us for an early summer walk through the unique habitats of the beautiful Fountain Valley Trail and Roxborough’s stunning red rocks. We will look and listen for the many Roxborough spring arrivals, as well as year-round residents. We could see swifts, swallows, flycatchers, bluebirds, jays, wrens, vireos, warblers, and hummingbirds, as well as sparrows, goldfinches, and raptors. This trip is for all levels of birders, and beginners are especially welcome. We will start early to avoid the heat.

We will cover 2.4 miles with a small change in elevation.

What to bring: binoculars, hat, sunscreen, water, and a snack if desired.

An entry fee or pass to the park is required.
