Summer birds in Colorado

Colorado's dramatic elevation range from plains to 14,000-foot peaks creates diverse birding across life zones. During summer, bird activity is shaped by breeding and raising young along the Central Flyway.

Where to look

Explore forest, desert, wetland, urban habitat, including Rocky Mountain National Park and Barr Lake State Park.

Observation timing

Look and listen soon after sunrise, then check shaded habitat and water later in the day.
