Bird Outing at Roxborough State Park

PLEASE NOTE: You must register for this field trip (limit: 10 people) and complete the liability form when you register. Walk-up or impromptu participants will not be allowed. Other requirements are described below.

This early spring trip will be along the Fountain Valley trail (2.4 mile), which has a mild change in elevation and a partially graveled terrain. We will see year round residents such as the Spotted Towhee and Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay, nuthatches, chickadees, and finches. Possibly we will spot a Golden Eagle, as they breed in the park, or perhaps a Steller's Jay, Canyon Wren, and early Mountain Bluebirds. The first summer migrants may also be arriving.

Meet at the Visitor's Center and bring water, binoculars, appropriate outdoor clothing, and snacks if desired. Scopes are optional. For more information, please call Bea Weaver at (305) 498-5935.

Please note that this trip is not accessible for those with mobility challenges.
