2026 Great Backyard Bird Count

Come enjoy birds, explore our local ecosystems, and take part in this worldwide event! The Great Backyard Bird Count is a community science project, designed to engage any and all in bird
watching and population monitoring. Bird Conservancy and Colorado Parks and Wildlife are teaming up to host a morning of bird walks so you can get involved and learn how you can contribute to bird conservation from your own backyard! Families and children encouraged!


February 15th, 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Meet at Pelican Point parking lot in Cherry
Creek State Park (SE of the East Boat Ramp Parking)


We’ll run two, ~1.5 hour bird walks starting at the
Pelican Point parking lot at 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
and submit all data to the Great Backyard Bird Count.
