Trip is limited to 10 participants

Join leader David Suddjian for a visit to Tucker Gulch -- a migrant hotspot in Golden with a history of rare birds and a good variety of migrant songbirds. Sometimes rare "eastern" warblers and other out of range species are present, and we might also see Lazuli Bunting, Warbling Vireo, Green-tailed Towhee, as well as flycatchers, sparrows, woodpeckers, Cooper's Hawk and more.

Plan for about two miles of walking on paved paths, mostly along gentle grades. 

Meet at the Front Range Birding Co. Littleton store at 7:30 am to carpool and car caravan to Tucker Gulch. We will conclude by 10:30 am.

There is no restroom available at our birding location. For those who wish to meet at the birding spot, we will gather at the intersection of 1st Street and East Street at about 8:00 am.  

Call 303-979-2473 to reserve your spot as space is limited.

Join Front Range Birding and Optics for our May bird walk to Meyer’s Gulch Trail at Walker Ranch Open Space! Meyer’s Gulch Trail (also known as Meyer’s Homestead Trail) is a fairly flat, out and back trail at the historic Walker Ranch. The trail is known for its wildflowers as much as its birds. Target birds will include sparrows such as Chipping, Lark, and Vesper, Western Bluebirds, and Violet-green Swallows.

We’ll meet at 8:00am at the Meyer’s Gulch parking lot at https://maps.app.goo.gl/5ipLWjuknYzv75Zr6. Depending on how birdy the morning is, we may be out until 11:00am or 12pm. Please dress for the weather as May can be unpredictable in Colorado and remember to wear sturdy shoes.
