Join us at our Thirsty Bird – Science on Tap programs this year! Guests will learn about what we do as an organization, our programs in local communities and get a glimpse into our research. We hope you’ll join us throughout 2025 to raise a glass to birds and learn more about Bird Conservancy of the Rockies!
Each Thirsty Bird starts at 4 p.m. From 4 – 5 p.m. you can mingle with Bird Conservancy staff and supporters, grab a drink and get a good seat! Starting promptly at 5 p.m. a staff member will begin a presentation focused on their work at Bird Conservancy as well as fun natural history facts about local birds. These presentations are engaging, thoughtful and you will walk away with new knowledge! Last year our Thirsty Bird events were very well attended. If you are hoping to get a seat at a table we recommend arriving at 4 p.m. Otherwise it may be standing room only.
Our April presenter is our Senior Research Scientist, Arvind Panjabi. Arvind will discuss Bird Conservancy’s research on migratory grassland birds, one of the fastest declining groups of birds in North America. This will include what we’ve learned about where they winter, the challenges they face, and what they need to survive. He will also share how that knowledge engages local communities and organizations in the Chihuahuan Desert in Mexico to protect and improve habitat for grassland birds so that more of these international frequent flyers can return to the prairies each spring to grace our skies.
All Thirsty Bird events take place at Funkwerks Brewing in Fort Collins.
