A special event where the public came in to learn a little about bird banding. With the help of Meredith, the bander from RMBO, we got to see the banding of resident birds and learn a little more about our local wildlife.º

American White Pelicans forage for food at Windy Gap Colorado. In the Walden, Colorado area these Pelicans will breed with other colonial nesters on Islands in lakes. They are monitored by the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. Unlike Brown Pelicans of coastal reagions who hunt alone, American White’s cooperate in groups.

Let’s get out and enjoy the beautiful colors of fall!
Join naturalist and Reefs to Rockies guide Carly Crow for an evening walk at Walden Ponds. We will meet at 5:30 pm in the Walden Ponds Trailhead. From there we will walk the maintained paths until dusk looking for late migrants and early winter birds. Several species of sparrows, hawks, and ducks are likely! This will also be a wonderful time to soak in the fall colors in the golden light of sunset.
Nature doesn’t sleep when the sun goes down! After sunset, we will walk and listen to owls calling in the twilight. Great-horned owls are likely and if we’re lucky we may hear a species or two of Colorado’s more illusive mountain owls. What better way to kick off the Halloween season?
During this time of year, the temperature drops quickly after dark. We recommend you bring layers to stay comfortable throughout our walk. We also recommend you bring a small flight light to illuminate your path while we are walking after dark.
