Barr Lake features many different types of birds including songbirds, falcons, hawks, colonial nesting birds, water fowl, and Bald Eagles. On this Bird Watch students will explore the dynamic wildlife oasis just outside Metro Denver where they learn how and why nearly 80 different species are able to coexist by using different parts of this ecosystem. Participants will learn how to use binoculars to view the birds, and educators will teach about bird adaptations, habitat needs, and the successful recovery of the once-endangered Bald Eagles. More importantly, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty that can be found right in their backyard!
