Team participating in 2025 Colorado Birding Challenge

Takes place Sep 6, 2025

Captained by Nick KOMAR

We're Participating in the 2025 COBC on Sept. 6 and We Need Your Support!

We're excited to participate in the 2025 COBC! Our team is going to try and find as many species of birds as we can on Sept. 6 to support Colorado Field Ornithologists and its conservation mission.

You can support us by pledging an amount for each bird species we find or if you prefer, you can make a donation of any amount.

CFO's mission is important to us and we're proud to help them make a difference. Please support us by giving to our page. Every dollar counts!

Thank you!

Our bike team (Brendan Beers, David Wade and Nick Komar) started the day shortly after 6 AM after being dropped high in the hills west of Fort Collins. We rode downhill stopping for birds arriving at Watson Lake (Bellvue) shortly after 11 AM. We then followed the Poudre River trail until we reached Harmony Road in Timnath shortly after 5 pm. We ended the day at Timnath Reservoir at sundown (7:40 pm). Special thanks to all our donors, CFO event organizers and Kathy Kay for getting up early to drop us and our bicycles at our start point atop Rist Canyon. No rarities, but many unexpected species such as a Northern Pygmy-Owl being mobbed by angry Pygmy Nuthatches in the morning and a lingering Common Nighthawk hawking insects in the evening. Our team raised over $1000!
