It’s a great time to be a birder! As the weather cools, nature is undergoing all kinds of changes – including bird migration. Millions of birds come through Colorado each migration season, making it likely to see an incredible variety of birds throughout the year. Each month brings new and familiar birds to Hudson Gardens and we love to hear about all the unique birds that get spotted.
