RMBO was founded in 1988 to address a bird conservation and related public education need in the western United States. Our mission is to conserve birds and their habitats. We accomplish our mission through Science, Education and Stewardship. RMBO's Science provides the knowledge to drive conservation action. Our Education program instills a conservation ethic and uses birds as a tool to engage youth and adults in the outdoors. Stewardship works with agricultural producers to increase awareness for wildlife and implement on the ground conservation.

RMBO is headquartered at Barr Lake State Park just east of Brighton, Colorado, and approximately 15 miles northeast of Denver. Barr Lake State Park is a nationally important stopover point for birds migrating along North America's Central Flyway and a favorite spot for birders locally and throughout the region. The Park's importance to birds makes it an ideal location for a bird observatory's offices. The Observatory's programs are supported by grants from foundations, federal agencies, state agencies, other non-profits, the Denver metro area's Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, Adams County Cultural Council, Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund, and dues and contributions from RMBO members.
