The Front Range Birding Company celebrates World Migratory Bird Day on May 12 this year. A full day of fun and events will take place at the Sagewood II Shopping Center, 10107 West San Juan Way, Suite 110 Littleton, CO 80127 (near the NW corner of Kipling and C-470 beside Texas Road House) from 9 am till 5 pm. The raptor conservation group, HawkQuest, is a featured attraction from 11 to 5 as they present a live Bald Eagle, Great Horned Owl, Peregrine Falcon, and Harris’s Hawk for display. You will be able to get up close and personal with each of these exquisite birds of prey. Their expert trainers will actually fly a Harris’s Hawk outdoors for all to see at 1 pm.
All during the day local artists will have their wares available at an outdoor crafts fair. It will be a great opportunity to find that perfect unique, handmade gift for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, or Graduation. In addition, local park rangers, CO Parks and Wildlife officials, and the Audubon Society of Greater Denver will man educational booths. Together they offer interesting and intriguing nature programs for both adults and children to enjoy.
