Let's enjoy a morning with the birds in Lair o' the Bear Park. Beginners are always welcome! This diverse habitat attracts a variety of birds. Lesser Goldfinch, Lazuli Bunting, Spotted Towhee, White-breasted Nuthatch and Steller's Jay are among those we may find. Bring binoculars, water, hat, sturdy shoes, and sunscreen. We will meet near the main trailhead sign next to the parking lot. From C470, take CO-74 west through Morrison for approx 5 miles. Look for the park entrance on the left past Idledale. Plan on a 1.6 mile walk with frequent stops. Much of the trail is flat but there are a few inclines up the hillside.

We will be looking for summer residents as well as the year-round residents. Raptors and Turkey Vultures are common. Yellow Warblers and other warblers, vireos, wrens, finches, and hummingbirds use this area for nesting and feeding. Jays, Spotted Towhees, chickadees, and woodpeckers are regulars.

The Fountain Valley Trail is an easy trail with gradual uphill incline on the return segment. We will start early to avoid the heat. Bring binoculars, water and snacks, sunscreen, and sun hat. Sun protective clothing is recommended. Meet at the Visitor’s Center.
