Upcoming Events
August 30th Bird Walk
Help us find some of our departing birds and others just passing through Colorado on Saturday August 30th. As usual, meet us at the Wild Bird Center where we will leave promptly at 7:30 am to find some migrants. We will return about 11:00 am. No reservations are required. If you have questions please call the Wild Bird Center at 303-442-1322.
Christmas Cards and 09 Calendars
At the Wild Bird Center we have been ordering Christmas Cards and 09 Calendars recently. (Believe it or not, we were a little late in ordering.) We have some lovely cards and calendars on the way so don’t forget us if you have a need. We should have most of them out by late September/early October (but not our Christmas decorations).
Colorado Birding Trail
The Colorado Division of Wildlife has recently published a small booklet highlighting the best birding spots in Southeastern Colorado. This glossy booklet is well organized and informative. It's a must have for local birders and its FREE. The Division has sent us a case of these books to give away. Please stop by the Wild Bird Center to pick up your copy.
Call us at (303) 442-1322 for the latest information and watch this space for future events.
