A beautiful morning. Sage Trail is one of those boundary places that always produces "good" birds. It has elements of the East, West, plains, foothills, riparian, and grasslands. 

It's time for our International Migratory Bird Day celebration Walk in the Wild! This year will be another great event to learn about and celebrate birds, spend some time outdoors, and meet other folks interested in birds and wildlife. We'll have many bird walks that leave throughout the celebration, live birds of prey, art projects, coffee and treats, and lots more. A great event for all ages.

The Theme for this years' IMBD is 'Helping Birds along the Way', which explores different ways we can help birds make it from their wintering to their nesting grounds.

Fundraising: We have several fundraising opportunities at Walk in the Wild. There will be a silent auction with many prizes of all kinds. You can buy a wildflower, shrub, or tree for habitat restoration. Or you can make a donation and get a bird to paint and add to the flock at Walk in the Wild. All funds go to improve bird habitat within Boulder County. Buy an IMBD Tee Shirt.

Dawn Chorus: If you are looking for a unique bird watching event, then come on the Dawn 

Chorus Walk at 5:30am. The theme of this walk is listening to and appreciating bird song and sounds. Come hear what the birds sound like when they wake up! We will meet at the main Cottonwood Marsh Parking Lot at Walden Ponds. Don't miss this opportunity to wake up super early on a weekend.
