Barr Lake Eagle Spotting Walk

Tis the season when Bald Eagles winter at Barr Lake State Park. Bald eagles thrive near open water, where they can hunt fish and scavenge waterfowl. At Barr Lake State Park alone as many as 100 bald eagles can be seen on a single winter day, soaring above the lake, perched in cottonwood trees, or resting on the ice (if there is ice).

Bring your good binoculars, your camera, wear comfortable walking shoes, and let's see how many we can spot! If there's wind, dress warmer than you normally would because a wind off that lake is cold!

There is a fee to enter the State Park if you don't already add that to your Colorado Registration fee.

Let's meet in front of the Visitor's Center at 10:00 SHARP. We will only wait about 10 minutes for stragglers so don't be late.
