Adult Adventures
Our adult experiences are designed to share the joy that birds bring while showing you how birds help form healthy ecosystems.
FIELD TRIPS

Most of these are free
Audubon Master Birders, community naturalists, and other expert birders active in our organization host free field trips in parks and green spaces all over Denver. Each trip is unique and affords opportunities to see many types of birds. Check our calendar for upcoming field trips.
WORKSHOPS
BEGINNING BIRD WATCHING
Do the names of birds fly over your head? Founding members and birding gurus, Hugh and Urling Kingery, teach Beginning Birdwatching starting each April and September during the spring and fall migrations. One class kicks off the program followed by six weekend explorations of metro-area parks in different bird habitats.
Because this program is so awesome, there is a waitlist to participate.
BIRDING INSIGHTS
Want to take a deeper dive into birds? This learning series covers a variety of bird families and species and are offered almost every month throughout the year. Each are designed with class time followed by an outing to put your new knowledge to the test. Take one, take them all, it’s up to you.
AUDUBON MASTER BIRDER CERTIFICATION
Develop your bird brain in this year-long, intensive study of Colorado’s birds and habitats. The mission of the program is to develop field ornithologists who understand bird identification, behavior, habitat, and conservation. We seek those who desire to share their learning through an ongoing commitment to Denver Audubon and the Colorado birding community.
COMMUNITY NATURALIST TRAINING
We are the only Denver-metro organization to offer over 100 hours of combined in-class and field naturalist training. Classes are taught by field experts on a variety of topics including ecosystems, ecology, meteorology, geology, plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians, bird and raptor identification, mammals, nature journaling, nature mentoring, and guide techniques.
