The Denver Audubon Community Naturalist Training is a one-of-a-kind adult training program highlighting the plants, animals, and ecosystems of the Colorado Front Range. Classes for the 2023 winter session will be held at the Audubon Nature Center at Chatfield, potentially the Denver Audubon office, and offsite field trip locations.  Topics of study include botany with an emphasis on tree identification, ecology, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and conservation in Colorado.

Classes will take place on Fridays February 10 to April 7 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm each day.  100% attendance is required in order to graduate from the program – makeup classes are NOT possible.

This early spring trip will be along the Fountain Valley trail (2.4 mi.), which has a mild change in elevation and a partially graveled terrain. We will see year-round residents such as the Spotted Towhee and various jays, nuthatches, chickadees, and finches. We may spot a Golden Eagle or Prairie Falcon, as they breed in the park or perhaps a Say’s Phoebe, Canyon Wren, or bluebirds. Other early summer migrants may be arriving as well.

Meet at the Visitor's Center and bring water, binoculars, appropriate outdoor clothing and sun protection as needed, and snacks if desired. Scopes are optional.

Trip Leader: Bea Weaver, Audubon Master Birder. Please call Bea at (305) 498-5935 if you have questions about this field trip.

Join us as we learn how to draw birds! We will discuss foundational bird anatomy and bird identifiers, honing your observational skills, and basic drawing approaches to our favorite winged animals. All skill levels welcome! If the weather permits, we will also be spending some time outside to draw live birds in situ, so prepare to make yourself comfortable for the weather (hat, sunglasses, water bottle etc). If you have binoculars, please feel free to bring them to get a better look, though don't be concerned if you don't have any—we have a very active bird feeder and Audubon Nature Center campus.

Get ready for a fun evening of team bird trivia with Denver Audubon and the Ornithology Class at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. This is not your typical bird trivia. We will stretch your knowledge on topics such as bird evolution, diversity, physiology, behavior, and ecology. After each question, you will learn more about the answers.

Don’t have a team? No worries, we are a friendly group and will help you find a flock to join.

Behind the Scenes Taphouse has donated their entire space for this exciting fundraising event. All funds support Audubon Denver.

Birding Insights, Native Plants for Birds Workshop

You must register for this workshop (limit: 28 people) and complete the liability form when you register. Walk-up or impromptu participants will not be allowed. Other requirements are described below.

Are you passionate about native plants and want to learn more about the ecological connections between plants and our Colorado birds? Join us for an engaging and exciting workshop on ways to diversify the birds found within your neighborhood or your own backyard using a variety of food groups provided by our native plants. Learn about the complexities of wild bird diets and how native plants provide the opportunity to create additional bird biodiversity within the landscape.  We will cover some of the science behind the essential need for native plants, native plant choices for seed, berry, and nectar production, as well as plant choices for supporting local insects, including adult butterflies and caterpillars.  We will also review the Native Plants for Birds handout that was created in partnership between Denver Audubon, CoNPS, Audubon Rockies, and CSU Extension.

This workshop is designed for all skill levels of native plant enthusiasts.
