Why we picked this
Grassland habitat draws a different species mix than the river corridors most Denver Audubon walks cover — a good one for anyone who's done a few wetland walks and wants variety.
This free three-hour guided walk explores McCabe Meadows, a grassland and riparian site that supports a different mix of species than the wetland and creek corridors most Denver Audubon walks cover. Fall migration adds sparrows, raptors, and other grassland specialists to the resident mix.
The open terrain makes for good long-distance viewing, particularly for raptors working the fields. A Denver Audubon guide leads the walk and helps with identification.
Free and open to all skill levels. The walk runs 8 to 11 AM. Meeting point and directions provided at registration.
