Birds bring us joy. In the spring and summer, their cheerful songs and colorful feathers brighten our lives. In the fall and winter, they bring comfort on cold, dark days. When you appreciate birds, every walk is a little more interesting, every trip a little more exciting.
Being a birdwatcher doesn't mean you have to be good at identifying birds. To us, a bird watcher is anyone who enjoys seeing or hearing birds, no matter how common they are.
Whether you're just curious about birds or an avid birdwatcher, we hope the resources on this page help you learn about and appreciate the birds of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.
