Leader: Steve Jones

We will walk approximately 4 miles up and around Doudy Draw and Eldorado Mountain counting all the birds we can see or hear.

This event is free and open to all Boulder-area teens who love nature and science. No prior birdwatching experience is required. We have extra binoculars anyone can borrow. Please mention that you would like to borrow binoculars when you register.

Audubon Christmas Bird Counts, initiated in 1900, have helped conservationists track and conserve a variety of bird species throughout North America. The first Boulder Christmas Bird Count was on Christmas Eve 1910 – before they were even called Christmas Bird Counts but simply the Bird Lore Annual Census. Since 1975 Boulder County Audubon has supported the coordination of the annual Boulder Christmas Bird Count.
