  • Important Bird Areas (IBA)
    "Important Bird Areas, or IBAs, are sites that provide essential habitat for one or more species of bird. IBAs include sites for breeding, wintering, and/or migrating birds. IBAs may be a few acres or thousands of acres, but usually they are discrete sites that stand out from the surrounding landscape. IBAs may include public or private lands, or both, and they may be protected or unprotected." (From the Audubon Society's Important Bird Areas web page)

    Rocky Mountain National Park is a Boulder County area IBA. Information about all Colorado IBA's can be found by visiting Audubon Colorado's IBA web pages.
