SUMMARY:Saving Birds To Save The Planet: An Evening With Scott Weidensaul
DESCRIPTION:What does bird conservation have to do with saving the planet? More than you might think. \nJoin the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Bird Conservancy of the Rockies for an inspiring evening with New York Times bestselling author and naturalist Scott Weidensaul\, whose new book\, The Return of the Oystercatcher\, explores the conservation success stories helping birds — and the ecosystems we all depend on — recover. \nAround the world\, many bird populations face serious threats. But the story isn’t only one of decline. From recovering habitats to rebounding waterfowl\, gnatcatchers and forest songbirds\, bird conservation is showing what’s possible when science\, persistence and community come together. Through stories from the front lines of conservation\, Weidensaul reveals how saving birds can also help protect habitats\, strengthen ecosystems and offer a more hopeful model for the future of the planet. \nFollowing his presentation\, Weidensaul will be joined by Dr. Garth Spellman\, Director of Zoology and Curator of Ornithology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science\, and a representative from Bird Conservancy of the Rockies for a short panel conversation. \nTickets with book purchase are available online through July 23 and include the opportunity to have your book signed by the author. \nClick here to buy your tickets today!

SUMMARY:Bird Banding Workshop - Chico Basin Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Bird Conservancy of the Rockies is offering a 3-day hands-on bird banding workshop at Chico Basin Ranch\, Colorado. This workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate banders\, no prior experience required. Participants will learn safe operation of mist-nets\, safe bird-handling techniques\, in-hand aging and sexing of passerine birds\, and terminology regarding molt and interpreting the Pyle Guide. \nThis workshop will take place during regular operation of the banding station and will also include afternoon discussion-based presentations covering a variety of banding-related topics. Participation is capped at 6 individuals to ensure plenty of 1-on-1 training and feedback for each participant. \nNote: Bird safety is always our top priority and we aim to keep holding times to a minimum\, so not all participants will be able to handle every bird. However\, every effort will be made to maximize hands-on training opportunities for our workshop participants\, within our ethical and bird safety guidelines. \n\nCost: $500 per participant\nWhen: September 21st through 23rd\, 2026\nWhere: Chico Basin Ranch\, El Paso County\, Colorado\n\nSite details: Chico Basin Ranch is a working cattle ranch on the eastern plains of Colorado. Our banding station is located in a cottonwood grove on the north end of the ranch. The ranch is about a 45-minute drive from Colorado Springs\, with the last several miles on a 2wd-accessible dirt road. \nLodging and Food: Free car or tent camping is available on-site\, limited beds in on-site bunkrooms may be available\, please inquire if interested. Otherwise\, participants must arrange their own lodging in nearby Fountain or Colorado Springs. Portapotties are on-site but no other bathrooms or showers are available. We will provide a refillable potable water jug but participants will need to provide their own meals\, snacks\, and any other beverages. If staying on-site\, think of it as rustic car-camping and plan to be self-sufficient! \nHow to Register: Fill out this google form and you will be contacted with a registration link. Participants must be 18 years of age or older. \nPayment: $100 deposit will be required upon registration\, with the remaining $400 required by August 14th\, 2026.
