Springtime in the Rockies Guided Walk
04/23/2021
| 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Boise Bend Natural Area (1225 S Boise Ave)
Guided Walk: Nature, Birding, History - Mixed Ages
At Boise Bend Natural Area we have the rare privilege of viewing both a heron rookery and an osprey nest without being close enough to disturb the nesting birds. Last year as many as 50 adult herons were visible on and flying around the rookery at one time. There is even a Red-Tailed Hawk nest on the same tree as the heron nests. It is hard to see among the branches, we will give it our best effort. In addition to these nesting areas, Boise Bend contains open meadows, wooded areas, and riparian (wetland) environments to explore. Spring brings the return of migratory birds of many kinds, emerging plant life and more. Enjoy a leisurely walk along a very gentle 0.25-mile trail as we “see what we can see.” Boise Bend is right across the street from the first wheat field in Larimer county and near the site of St. Louis, Colorado, the precursor of the town of Loveland. We will briefly share some of the stories and history of this area. Please dress for the weather, including good walking shoes. Cameras and binoculars recommended. Masks and social distancing will be followed.

Eldon G - Guest Speaker
I have spent most of my life in Colorado. I have a lifelong interest in nature as a photographer, an avid reader, a hiker (really an ambler), a student, and a teacher. I enjoy sharing nature with others and have been told that I make it easy and fun for my audiences. I have volunteered with the Open Lands and Trials Division since March 2018. I have volunteered as an instructor, trail host and guided walk leader. I am a Certified Interpretive Guide. I look forward to sharing time in Nature wit
