Discover alta's avian residents.
Join the Alta Environmental Center and Tracy Aviary for a monthly guided birding hike. This is a unique opportunity to explore Alta’s mountain environment while surveying non-breeding birds as part of the Alta Bird Monitoring Program. Accompany expert birders and conservation ecologists as we search for the diverse avian species that call Alta home. You'll learn to identify birds by sight and sound and gain a deeper understanding of the high-alpine ecosystems that support them.
Established in 2015 and led by Tracy Aviary’s conservation team, the Alta Bird Monitoring Program promotes bird-friendly practices and tracks the health of Alta’s unique high-altitude habitat. All observations will be uploaded to eBird, contributing to larger conservation efforts to monitor and protect Alta’s bird populations for years to come.
Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned birder, these hikes offer a meaningful way to connect with nature, enhance your identification skills and be part of a growing community of bird enthusiasts.
