Spring Migration Birding

It’s bird migration season, and Longmont features many outstanding places to view these avian visitors. St. Vrain State Park is a hotspot where you can catch birds passing through on the way to their summer breeding grounds. The park’s 14 ponds are a great stopover for migrating sparrows and warblers, Mountain Bluebirds, Brewer’s Blackbirds and more. Shorebirds like Greater Yellowlegs, dowitchers and sandpipers are also a springtime treat. You can get a list of birds by season at the park’s web page. You can check out other great Longmont birding hotspots on our birding page.
