BIRD ​​
BIRD BANDING RETURNS SEPTEMBER 2021!!
​


 With a missed year in 2020, we are planning on a continuing collaboration with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Bird Conservancy of the Rockies to hold a month-long fall bird banding season in Connected Lakes State Park.

As in previous years, a certified bird bander will be on site each weekday morning capturing, studying and releasing birds. Our banding educators will work with students from local schools to help them understand the big concepts of migration, adaptation and the science behind banding birds.  Students participate in a wildlife discovery walk, learning about some of the resident birds and local wildlife.
​
Grand Valley Audubon will help underwrite transportation costs so local 4th grade classes can participate in this outdoor classroom field trip.  More details to come!! 
Due to COVID protocol, please continue to check the website for updates.
Stay safe and don't forget to feed your backyard birds!
