A reminder that we have several breeding bird atlas trips on which we invite you -- one tomorrow (Wed. June 11).
Here's the schedule:

Breeding Bird Atlas survey trips

 

            Denver Audubon adopted two Breeding Bird Atlas blocks -one in the foothills southwest of Denver and the other on the fringe of  the Black Forest, southeast of Castle Rock. 

            We will hold trips every other week, May through July. We invite DFO members to join us onthese Atlas trips. Pick a convenient date to help with this stimulating kind of bird-watching project. You can learn about bird behaviors that confirm breeding, field observation skills, and bird songs. 

LEADERS:    Hugh and Urling Kingery (303-814-2723), Audubon Master Birders, and other volunteers.
