Lory State Park
Always wanted to explore the incredible world of birds but not sure how to start? Or, do you have a child fascinated by birds who wants to learn more? Join Northern Colorado Bird Alliance led by Lori Pivonka for a talk about birding gear, guides, identification tips and online resources. Then, take your new knowledge on the trail for a beginning birder’s hike. This program is limited to 15 participants! Location: South Eltuck Picnic Area Difficulty: We will spend the beginning of this class at a picnic area. We will then explore the easy east valley trail and the easy section of the Well Gulch Trail. This is a single track dirt trail with little to no elevation gain. Expect to walk over rocks and go up a few rock stairs. Bring: Water, snacks, binoculars or monoculars and dress for the weather and trail conditions, including sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes, and your cell phone (AT HOME, please download the FREE app “Merlin Bird ID” from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology). Program is free with a valid state parks pass (KCW, $10 day pass, or Colorado State Park Annual Pass)
