Bird Walk at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge

PLEASE NOTE: You must register for this field trip (limit: 12 people) and complete the liability form when you register. Walk-up or impromptu participants will not be allowed. Other requirements are described below.

The Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR has many wonderful places to view birds. We will start at Lake Ladora and see what waterfowl and shorebirds we can find. Passerines can be found on nearby trails as well. From there we will travel to Lower Derby Lake for more waterfowl, raptors, and wetland birds. Some trails are uneven with rocky surface, and others are paved. Depending on how many trails we take, the approximate distance can be 1-2 miles walked. This field trip is not accessible for those with mobility challenges.

By registering for and attending this field trip, you agree to the following:

-You will self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms, even if you are vaccinated, and use common sense.
