This trip will explore the three sites at Chico Basin Ranch currently open to birders – The woodlands where Bird Conservancy of the Rockies will be banding birds, the Headquarters Pond, and Rose’s Pond. This trip is ideal for those that have never visited the ranch, but all levels of birders are welcome. We will be in shade much of the time, but still plan for sun protection. Portable toilets will be nearby half of the time. Bring a sack lunch and drinks/water. We may walk up to three miles at a birder’s pace on mostly flat, but sometimes uneven terrain. Long pants are recommended.

We will bird the ranch for the full time we are able to, from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We will meet to carpool/caravan in Fountain at 5:30 a.m. Closer to the trip, trip leader Jessica will provide the link and password to participants to purchase their ticket to visit the ranch. The ranch access fee is $15 per person.

This trip is limited to 11 participants. Sign up by emailing jessicaisbirding@gmail.com
