Bald Eagles in Colorado

Matt Smith, Citizen Science Coordinator, for the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, will present materials on the natural history of bald eagles and their status in Colorado. Emphasis will be placed on nesting behavior, and the conservation challenges bald eagles face in the increasingly developed Colorado Front Range Region.

Matt earned his bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the University of South Florida, and began work as a seasonal field technician with Audubon Florida while still in school. During that time he assisted with a variety of research and conservation projects focused mainly on colonial waterbirds and shorebirds, such as the reddish egret and American Oystercatcher. Prior to joining the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Matt was managing a bald eagle nest monitoring program for the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. Matt is an avid outdoorsman and a licensed falconer.

Join us on September 8 at the Fort Collins Senior Center for this program that is free and open to the public.
