Join Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory at J & L Farms, near Eads, Colorado, on Friday June 11th for a workshop on birds, habitat, and range management. The workshop is an opportunity for landowners and resource professionals to become more familiar with grassland birds including how to identify them by sight and sound and the different habitats they use. We will also discuss the use of birds as indicators of habitat management and change and provide simple tools for incorporating birds into existing management and monitoring plans.

Attendees will receive a pocket guide to prairie birds, interactive cd-rom, and training module on birds including the economic and ecological role of birds and their habitat needs. The workshop is free with breakfast and lunch provided. We will need a head count for food and materials so please RSVP to Tammy VerCauteren or Scott Gillihan at 970-482-1707 by June 9th. The workshop will begin at 8:00 a.m. and end by 3:00 p.m. on June 11th.
