Hundreds of birders from the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains have participated in the past, raising more than $75,000 for critical conservation efforts in our state.
This year’s event takes place Saturday, May 20th during peak spring migration. The objective for this year’s event is to:
· Engage hundreds of birders in a fun day of finding and learning about Colorado's birds.
· Raise funds for Pinyon Jay conservation; specifically, the surveying and mapping of breeding colony locations to prioritize for land conservation. From 1967–2015, the population levels of Pinyon Jays fell by an estimated 83.5%. Identifying these areas is critical for long-term habitat management and protection.
· Generate eBird data for all 64 counties on the same day.
· Provide support for the expanding programs and work of Colorado Field Ornithologists.
The Colorado Birding Challenge is a team effort, so register and start organizing your team now! Click here to find out more about organizing a team:
