This well-loved mountain park is a birding hot spot.  We will see which birds are hanging around the lake and look for spring migrating and breeding birds.  We will walk along the park trails and see what birds are on the water and in the trees and shrubs. 

The Backcountry Wilderness Area of Highlands Ranch is an 8,200 acre conservation property.  For this bluebird hike, we’ll explore the Highlands Bluebird Trail off of Grigs Road. Join us as we peek inside nest boxes to check for eggs and babies of mountain and western bluebirds and tree swallows. We’ll also see bird species that prefer open grasslands and Gambel oak including scrub jay, spotted towhee, golden eagle, red-tailed hawk and kestrel.
