Today kicked off our breeding bird surveys for the season! Our executive director, Jen Clancy and Bryant Olsen from Tracy Aviary spent the morning out in the field looking for our feathered friends around Alta. These studies are part of a systematic survey of the bird species present at Alta to record baseline breeding bird surveys in the summer months. They also checked in on some of our nestboxes and found that some were used! The Alta Bird Study is a partnership between FOA, Tracy Aviary, Alta Environmental Center, and Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. Visit friendsofalta.org/bird-surveys/ for more information on our findings!
