Spend a morning with one of the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory’s bird banders at
Barr Lake State Park. Every year thousands of birds stop to rest and eat at Barr
Lake during their migratory journey. Your students will get an “up-close and personal”
experience with nature while they watch a wildlife biologist place a band on migrating
birds captured harmlessly in nets.
In addition to watching the banding process, students will also participate in other
migration related activities and observe wildlife while on a hike along Barr Lake.
The fee for this field trip includes a follow-up classroom program.
