Field Ornithologists at Colorado State University

Our Mission:

This organization aims to share an appreciation and understanding of
local birding, avian ecology, and avian conservation issues. We foster enthusiasm for birding by organizing birding trips to experience the unique bird communities of both local and distant habitats, bringing professionals to discuss topics in the world of birds, offering workshops, and participating in research and citizen science!
