LIVE EVENTS

Did you know four species of hummingbirds migrate through Colorado from mid-summer into fall?
Broad-tailed, Black-chinned, Rufous, and Calliope hummingbirds all pass through, and telling them apart isn’t always easy—especially with females and juveniles in the mix.

In this Birding by Ear workshop, we will focus on key field marks, bill shapes, head shapes, and behaviors while also listening closely to their hums, trills, and call notes. This fun and educational experience is open to birders of all levels, ages 14 and up.

Location: A private residence in the scenic mountains of Lyons, Colorado, with incredible close-up views of hummingbirds at multiple feeders. Participants will also have the chance to learn about other mountain bird species. The exact address and details will be emailed to registered guests the day before the event.

Led by Alison Kondler of @birding_by_ear.
