In her role at Wild Birds Unlimited, Jane has found a platform to share her knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Every month, she organizes and leads bird walks, inviting fellow nature enthusiasts to join her on a journey of discovery through local parks and natural habitats. These walks have become a highlight for both beginners and seasoned birders alike, offering a unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn more about the diverse avian species in their region.
Guided beginner birdwatching walk
Join us for a beginner-friendly birdwatching walk, open to all ages! This walk is designed for those new to birdwatching, and no special equipment is required to participate. However, space is limited to 10 participants, and registration is required through the store. Please register each attendee individually, as we cannot accommodate additional, unregistered guests. To ensure a comfortable experience for all, we kindly ask that dogs not be brought on the walk.
During this guided walk, participants will learn the basics of birdwatching, including how to find and identify birds. Topics may cover the use of optics, where to look and listen for birds, and birding etiquette. You’ll also have the chance to observe common migratory and resident birds of Colorado in different habitats. There is no cost for joining this walk.
Participants must follow local, state, and federal laws to maintain a welcoming environment for both park users and wildlife. We recommend wearing sturdy shoes and dressing in layers for the weather. Optional gear includes binoculars (recommended but not required), a camera, field guide, journal and pen, a small backpack, and a water bottle. Expect to be active for about an hour, covering up to a mile at a pace that ensures the group stays together. The guide will not provide gear but will share field guides when possible.
Please reserve your spot by calling Wild Birds Unlimited Denver; space is limited.
