CFO ANNUAL CONVENTIONS
Convention Info
The Colorado Field Ornithologists Annual Birding Convention is the birding event of the year for Colorado birders! Meeting sites are selected throughout the state. Members can see new birds and habitats each year with field trips led by local experts. Events include presentations of research papers, workshops, and an evening banquet with a special guest speaker. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends, renew old friendships, and learn about birds in an informal atmosphere.
CFO 2013 Annual Convention
The CFO 2013 Annual Convention will be held in May 16-19, 2013 in under–birded and off–the–beaten–path Montezuma County in southwestern Colorado. Our convention will be based in Cortez - the county seat. Montezuma County is the southwestern cornerstone of Colorado and contains well known landmarks such as Mesa Verde National Park and the Four Corners, as well as lesser known national monuments like Hovenweep and Canyons of the Ancients. The Montezuma area provides a wide diversity of bird habitat types — desert scrubland, reservoirs, canyon creek riparian, pinion–juniper woodland, lush coniferous mountain forest — and we will be looking for birds associated with those habitats. » read more
