A short hike along a wide dirt trail is optional. Accessible parking and restrooms available. Program Description: Birds are all around us, you see them everywhere, but who are they? Identifying them is a first step to uncovering the amazing diversity of the birds in our neighborhoods. Many migratory birds use Fort Collins as a final stop or a rest stop during their flights to their breeding grounds to the north. Waterfowl/shore birds, use the reservoirs/lakes for feeding, resting, and security. Surrounding wetlands, woods and grasslands/prairies are used by other migratory birds, e.g., thrushes, sparrows and warblers. Register for information, updates, and cancellation info. Registration not required, but highly suggested. What to Bring: Dress appropriately for the weather forecast. Bring multiple layers for both active walking and standing still. Bring sunscreen, a hat / sunglasses, bug repellant, closed-toe, sturdy shoes, and plenty of water. Trails may be muddy so please wear proper footwear. Hiking poles are a great option if you are concerned about balance on uneven/muddy terrain. Bring binoculars if you have them! ___________________________________________________________________ People of all abilities and disabilities are welcome to participate in all programs and we are happy to make any appropriate accommodations.
