Ducks-a-Plenty Along the South Platte River

Sunday, February 9, Join Raymond “Davis” for a leisurely 2-3 mile stroll along the Platte River on a paved and wheel-chair accessible trail.  There’s a possibility of seeing 17 waterfowl species including Barrow’s Goldeneye and Long-tailed Duck.  

Meet at 8:30 in the NW corner of the north main parking lot of the East Boulder Rec. Center** or at 9:15 at Colorado Blvd. south of E. 88^th St. in Thornton in the Platte River Trailhead Parking lot on the SE corner. Bird until 1:30 and bring a light lunch.  Leader: Davis 303-823-5332.

Even after this cold snap, there will be plenty of open water, but Davis is not sure if the path is plowed, so wear warm, water-proof boots or shoes.
