Birdwatching

Particpants will look for and identify migratory and resident bird species along the Arkansas Riverwalk in Canon City, Colorado.  The U.S. Forest Service is sponsoring the event and will assist participants in locating, viewing, and identifying birds in the area.  The Forest Service staff will also convey to particpants the importance of conserving migratory birds and their habitat as well as answer questions that particpants may have regarding migratory and resident birds and thier habitat.

Environment for the Americas coordinates WMBD in the Americas to increase awareness and motivate conservation of the migratory birds we share across borders. It is a celebration of one of the most important and spectacular events in the life of a migratory bird -its journey between breeding and non-breeding grounds. The program was created by Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center to focus public attention on the need for action to conserve birds and their habitats.

So, this year we would like to continue our engagement in WMBD celebrations.
