The peak of the dawn chorus occurs from about half-an-hour before sunrise to half-an-hour after sunrise. It’s generally not a time for foraging, but strictly for singing. From the first hooting of Great Horned Owls starting back in December to the ongoing singing of all our songbirds through July, the chorus of birds at dawn is one of the great pleasures given to us by birds.
Come join the Evergreen Audubon community in celebrating the advent of the avian breeding season, the return of migratory birds to Colorado, and the passing through of other migrants going farther north.
We will meet at Evergreen Lake at 6:00 am for coffee, provided by Evergreen Audubon, and then head out to the boardwalk and other trails in the vicinity.
Please bring a breakfast treat to share with your fellow birders for a potluck after our morning adventure. Finger food that does not need to be kept cold or heated works best. Evergreen Audubon will provide the coffee, but PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MUG and napkin to keep this a zero-waste event.
