In this presentation we will attempt to describe the wild foods of Colorado’s birds. They have their tried and true “go-to” items and they are champions of opportunism. The true joy of birding is the sense of discovery. Studying what birds eat is fun and full of surprises. It has long been the presenter’s contention that the skills and tools possessed by birders can be applied to more than “what is it?” and “how many are there?” The gaps in published bird life histories are MANY and we can fill them by living up to what the world calls us – “bird watchers”. By carefully observing a bird for just a few minutes beyond identification, we can gather valuable information on habitat, feeding habits and other behaviors. With our phones, point-and-shoots and mega-cameras we can document these things. And all are potentially useful to conservation. Let’s do it.
