It's time for our annual bird walk with Dave Sutherland up the beautiful Bear Mountain trail. This is always a highlight for us as the migrants are showing up from their winter vacations and building nests and raising their young.
Dave is an award-winning naturalist and formerly with Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. He is sure to entertain and educate us as we bird one of Boulder's best trails for colorful spring migrants. We will actually use "Birds of Costa Rica" as our field guide! As Dave likes to say, "Why fly to Belize or Costa Rica when their birds will come to us?"
Binoculars will be available to loan if you don’t have your own.
Following our walk, we'll head back down Table Mesa Drive to Southern Sun for some libations you purchase and snacks provided by Boulder County Audubon Society. Unfortunately, they don't accept credit cards, so bring cash or check.
