[BCO gal]

The 2026 Colorado Field Ornithologists convention takes place May 28th - 31st, and headquartered at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Loveland, right off of I-25. 

Our "Peaks to Prairie" convention means a variety of field trips are offered including:

* Skip the lines and spend a day exploring the birds of Rocky Mountain National Park from the comfort of a Rocky Mountain Conservancy van

* Look for Long-billed Curlews, Burrowing Owls, and longspurs during your Day on the Pawnee

* Bird by bicycle along Loveland's bike paths with Nick Komar

* Learn about bird banding on two trips: YMCA of the Rockies with Scott Rashid and Audrey Hicks, or Pine Ridge Natural Area Banding Station with Stephanie Wheeler and Edward Landi

* Spot beautiful butterflies on an outing with local lepidoperist and birder Christian Nunes

The full field trip list and description can be found in the Registration Packet you can download from the CFO convention page: https://cobirds.org/current-convention/

Combine our extensive field trip offerings with a robust science session, a lively Exhibit Hall, and opportunities to connect with fellow birders, and you'll experience a memorable birding event you won't soon forget.
