ACES Birding Activities

ACES offers a variety of birding outings to discover and explore the avian fauna of the Roaring Fork Valley led by ACES Lead Bird Guide Rebecca Weiss and visiting instructors. Whether you are a year-round resident or visit seasonally, a seasoned birder or new to birding, we invite you to come bird with us! We offer Tuesday morning birding and special field trips throughout the year at ACES three sites, and other local hotspots. Interested in birding with us consistently? Consider joining ACES’s Bird Club, available to current ACES members who want to deepen their birding knowledge and skills, directly support the ACES birding program, and enjoy special year-round birding invitations only offered to ACES Bird Club members!
