Leader: Carl Starace

Friday, June 16, 2017

Free, no reservation necessary

Time: 8 a.m.

The White Rocks trail is one of Boulder’s premier bird watching areas. With habitats that vary from grasslands to riparian and foothill shrub, a wide variety of birds can be expected. Bald Eagles nest on the property as do Ospreys and Great Horned Owls. Waterfowl glide on the many ponds as herons hunt the edges. Warblers, vireos and flycatchers give voices to the trees and sparrows find nesting habitat in the grasses.

Meet at the White Rocks Trail parking area on Valmont Road, between 75^th and 95^th. Bring sun protection, food for snacks and/or lunch, water and other beverages.  Wear sturdy footwear and be ready for some moderate hiking.
