We will be open daily, WEATHER PERMITTING, through May 31, except for Memorial Day. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy. Registration is required for all weekend visitors; see the Denver Audubon website to sign up - we are heading into our last weekend of the season!  Individuals may visit weekdays without registering before the school groups arrive, which is usually around 10 a.m. 

Come visit!
