Warbler Walk through Tucker Gulch

PLEASE NOTE: You must register for this field trip (limit: 6 people) and complete the liability form when you register. Walk-up or impromptu participants will not be allowed. Other requirements are described below.

We will meet at Norman D. Memorial Park (39°46’15.7″N 105°13’55.7″W) parking lot in Golden at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 15th. On this trip, we hope to see various songbirds—warblers, in particular—with a good chance of seeing Yellow-rumped and Yellow Warblers. There is also the chance for some special observations—last year brought a Black-throated Gray Warbler and Northern Parula. The walk will cover 3 to 4 miles and last 2 to 3 hours. It is an easy, non-strenuous walk. There are no restroom facilities. Please bring your binoculars, snacks, water, and face masks.
