Here are trips planned for July for the Boulder Bird Club. Our trips are open to all and we encourage birders of all levels to participate and enjoy what beauty Colorado has to offer us in the summer. This Summer we have a few with a second emphasis on butterflies for those who wish to learn more about the other colorful flying objects in the sky. Our trips are free and open to everyone.
