Boulder Birding Big Day
 |
The Boulder Birding Big Day invites participants to team up with local experts, grab binos and a bird book, and hit the trails. The three hour, friendly competition usually begins at 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday in May and concludes with a bird tally and door prizes at around 11:30 a.m. The Boulder Birding Big Day is part of ongoing citizen monitoring of indicator species at Boulder.
