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.

Join us for a peaceful summer walk through the different habitats of the Fountain Valley Trail and Roxborough’s stunning red rocks. We will look and listen for the many Roxborough breeding migrants, as well as year-round residents. We could see swifts, swallows, flycatchers, bluebirds, jays, wrens, vireos, warblers, and hummingbirds, plus sparrows, goldfinches, and raptors. This year’s fledglings should also be present. This trip is for all levels of birders, and beginners are especially welcome. We will start early to avoid the heat and cover 2.4 miles with a small change in elevation.

Meeting Place: Roxborough State Park Visitor’s Center. State Parks Pass, or day pass (fee) required.

Leaders: Bea Weaver, Tina Leslie, and Ruth Gabreski, Audubon Master Birders

What to bring: binoculars, hat, sunscreen, water, and a snack if desired.
