In-person attendees: We will host a watch party at the Fort Collins Senior Center (1200 Raintree Dr) and ask that attendees wear a mask.

”Nick Komar will summarize some of the more interesting and rare species of birds that show up in our local birding area, and strategies he uses to find them. He will share what birders look for during fall migration in northern Colorado, focusing on species that only or primarily occur during fall migration (but not in spring), such as Calliope and Rufous Hummingbirds, jaegers, scoters, uncommon loons, Sabine’s and Little Gulls and certain shorebirds species like Buff-breasted Sandpiper. For each of these he will briefly describe their life history, review their identification and indicate where to find them as they migrate south through our local birding area.

Nick Komar is the current President of Colorado Field Ornithologists (since 2019). He leads numerous birding field trips and bird identification workshops for birding organizations in Colorado. He also guides professionally for Partnership in International Birding and his own tour company Quetzal Tours, which specializes in tours to Central and South America. He works as a biologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Fort Collins."

Audubon members, the public--all are welcomed to join into this virtual program!
