Join Evergreen Audubon for our annual International Dawn Chorus at Evergreen Lake!

All ages and abilities are welcome!

The peak of the dawn chorus occurs from about half-an-hour before sunrise to half-an-hour after sunrise.  It’s generally not a time for foraging, but strictly for singing.  From the first hooting of Great Horned Owls starting back in December to the ongoing singing of all our songbirds through July, the chorus of birds at dawn is one of the great pleasures given to us by birds.

Come join the Evergreen Audubon community in celebrating the advent of the avian breeding season, the return of migratory birds to Colorado, and the passing through of other migrants going farther north. People all over the globe will be celebrating the International Dawn Chorus on this day!

We will meet at Evergreen Lake at 6:00 am for coffee, provided by Evergreen Audubon, and then head out at 6:30 to the boardwalk and other trails in the vicinity for about 1 to 1 and a half hours.

Please bring a breakfast treat to share with your fellow birders for a potluck after our morning adventure.  Finger food that does not need to be kept cold or heated works best. Please keep your breakfast treat in your vehicle until after the bird walk.  Evergreen Audubon will provide the coffee, but PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MUG and napkin to keep this a zero-waste event.

• 6:00 meet at Evergreen Lake picnic area for coffee (bring your mug)
• 6:30 Bird Walk
• 7:30/8:00 Potluck breakfast and coffee
• 8:30 more birding

If you have any questions, please, contact Emma Vasicek at executivedirector@evergreenaudubon.org.

We hope to see you there!
