No experience needed!
Volunteers can select one or more nests to monitor through the breeding season which lasts from January to July.
Visits to each nest can last from 15 minutes to four hours depending on the interest of the observer and activity at the nest.
Observers document courtship, nest building, timing of egg production, hatching of young and fledging.
Training for volunteers is conducted in January and provides an opportunity to learn about Bald Eagle breeding behavior as well as the monitoring procedures.
Bald Eagle Watch will be hosting a training at Barr Lake State Park on Saturday, January 18th from 9a - 12p. If you're interested in joining us for this training, please RSVP to Kelsey Mazur, program & volunteer coordinator, at kelsey.mazur@birdconservancy.org

Mission Statement
Bird Conservancy of the Rockies conserves birds and their habitats through an integrated approach of science, education and land stewardship. Our work radiates from the Rockies to the Great Plains, Mexico and beyond. Our mission is advanced through sound science, achieved through empowering people, realized through stewardship and sustained through partnerships. Together, we are improving native bird populations, the land and the lives of people.
Description
To accomplish our mission, we combine science, education and stewardship in a full-circle approach that involves:
Researching bird ecology and population response to anthropogenic and natural processes to evaluate and adjust management and conservation strategies using the best available science;
Monitoring long-term bird population trends to provide a scientific foundation for conservation action;
Educating people of all ages through active, experiential programs that create an awareness of and appreciation for birds;
Partnering with state and federal natural resource agencies, private citizens, schools, universities, and other non-governmental organizations to build synergy and consensus for bird conservation;
Fostering good stewardship on private and public lands through voluntary, cooperative partnerships that create win-win situations for wildlife and people;
Sharing the latest information on bird populations, land management and conservation practices to create informed publics;
Delivering bird conservation at biologically relevant scales by working across political and jurisdictional boundaries in western North America.
