Birds and Ecology of the South Platte Plus Bird Banding — free morning at Kingery Nature Center
Free morning combining a guided walk on South Platte ecology at Kingery Nature Center with an up-close look at live bird banding. Sep 17, 7:15–10:45 AM MDT.
Why we picked this
Two events in one morning — a walk covering how the South Platte corridor's ecology shapes bird activity, then a stop at the banding station to see that ecology translated into real research data.
This free morning pairs a guided walk covering the ecology of the South Platte River corridor with a visit to Denver Audubon’s active bird banding station at Kingery Nature Center. The walk portion explains how the river, wetlands, and surrounding habitat support the species you’ll see, while the banding stop shows how that same habitat feeds ongoing research.
It’s a fuller morning than a standard walk — roughly three and a half hours — combining field observation with a look at how the data actually gets collected.
Free to attend. The program runs 7:15 to 10:45 AM at Kingery Nature Center, 11280 Waterton Rd. in Littleton.
