Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory is devoted to the conservation of Rocky Mountain and Great Plains birds and their habitats. We conduct on-the-ground conservation and research in cooperation with other private, state, and federal agencies responsible for managing areas and programs important for birds. Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory works closely with private landowners and managers to encourage and promote management practices that foster good land stewardship. Much of our work is designed to increase people's understanding of birds and their habitat requirements; we accomplish this goal through the education of children, teachers, wildlife managers, and the general public.
