Birds & Ecology of the South Platte PLUS Bird Banding (Co-sponsored trip with DFO)

The first part of the trip will be a 1/4 mile walk to the banding station where we will spend an hour with Bird Conservancy staff banding birds. This section is Accessible for most mobility limits. From there we will walk/bird on dirt trails along the South Platte for 1-2 miles. It will be flat walking but not fully accessible in places especially if there have been recent rains. Wear long pants (not shorts) due to bare-leg-unfriendly plants such as poison ivy, thistles, and knapweed. Please park at the North end of the Audubon lot near the concrete bathroom as that is the trailhead to go to the banding station. There is a $7 fee for the trip that goes to the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. Please pay the leader Charlie when you gather.

This trip is led by Charles Chase.
