Hi,

Join the High Plains Environmental Center for a morning of birding around Equalizer Lake in Loveland this Saturday Oct. 11.  We will walk approx. 2 miles on sidewalks and on level walking paths.  The reservoir has been drawn down quite a bit and now there is an extensive mudflat at the south end, which usually attracts many birds.

Meet at the parking lot at HPEC, which is located at 1854 Piney River Drive in the Centerra neighborhood in Loveland.  We will walk to the lake at 8am.  This area is easily reached from Rte. 34 exit of I-25.  The walk should end around 10:30. 

Recent visits on Sep. 30, Oct. 3 and Oct. 7 have found a nice variety of species such as Great Egret, Lesser Black-backed Gull (9/30 and 10/3), Bald Eagle, Least Sandpiper and Lesser Goldfinch.  We had a Great Horned Owl and a lot of songbird migrants on the last birdwalk on Sep. 20.

Come out and join us for fall migration.
