Global Big Day – Birding Club Event

May 10 @ 7:30 am - 10:00 am

Saturday, May 10, is the Global Big Day of birding, an annual celebration of birds that encourages people worldwide to participate by sharing their bird sightings through eBird.
The Birding Club will be holding three walks on Global Big Day beginning at 7:30 on Saturday morning, in different parts of Chaffee County. If interested in joining, please contact David Byford (davidwbyford@aol.com) and Betsy Lincicome (betthane@gmail.com) for more details! 
– A walk at the Chalk Cliffs Fish Hatchery, will be led by Boyd and Pat Clark.  In past years participants of this walk have identified numerous species, including waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds and raptors, and this year should be no exception.
– Club members Hattie Braun and Tom Kolb will lead a walk at the Sand Lake State Wildlife Area in Salida and adjacent trails along the Arkansas River.  In addition to waterfowl, the big cottonwoods along the trail attract many songbird species during the spring migration.  Birders will meet in the parking area near the SW corner of the SWA.  (Note: All SWA visitors age 16 and older are required to possess a valid SWA Pass (not a park pass) or a state fishing or hunting license, available at AHRA Visitor Center or online .)
– A final walk will take place along a restored beaver colony on Fourmile Creek east of Buena Vista.  Walk leaders are David Byford and Alan Robinson.  We’re only looking for an additional 2-3 participants for this walk.
