Denver Audubon

REPOST WITH CORRECT LOCATION 🐦‍⬛

You're invited to join us this Thursday to learn all about Mexican Spotted Owls!!

The Mexican spotted owl is listed as Threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, including in Colorado, where they inhabit forested mountains and canyons, facing threats from habitat loss (timber management, development, fire) and competition, with recovery efforts focusing on habitat protection and monitoring their presence. 

Join Denver Audubon for a presentation from Adrienne Cunningham, the Mexican Spotted Owl Biologist for Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, about these fascinating Birds!! Adrienne has over 10 years of experience conducting surveys of Mexican Spotted Owls. She will share the life history of this interesting species, what is currently being done in Colorado to try and conserve them, and what will hopefully be done in the future. 

Please register for this free event at the link in bio!!

Is there anything cuter than Black-capped Chickadee bathtime? 🥹🛁

We LOVE these photos by ⭐️ Thank you for capturing these sweet moments!

"I was beyond thrilled to spot these rather raucous Cedar Waxwings at sunset the other night. A true lifer for me, as I had only ever seen them in photographs. Funnily enough, I have vivid memories from childhood of looking at my grandmother's old birding books, and being absolutely enthralled with these sleek-looking birds and wondering if I'd ever get to see one.. 10/10 Did not disappoint!" said of this awesome photo they took of a pair of Cedar Waxwings!

We love the joy, the awe, the stories, memories, and connections that our feathered friends facilitate! ⭐️
