Discover alta's avian residents.
Join the Alta Environmental Center and Tracy Aviary for a monthly guided birding hike 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 inhabit Alta. You will learn to identify birds by sight and sound, gaining a deeper understanding of the high-alpine ecosystems that sustain them.
The Alta Bird Monitoring Program was established in 2015 to encourage responsible practices at Alta and monitor the health of its unique high-altitude habitats. All observations recorded during each survey are uploaded to Alta's eBird database, contributing to broader conservation efforts to protect Alta's bird populations for years to come.
Whether you are just starting or are a seasoned birder, these hikes provide a meaningful way to connect with nature, improve your identification skills and join a growing community of bird enthusiasts.
