On Sunday, May 4th, at 2:30 pm, a group of Pueblo nature lovers went for an afternoon bird walk around the Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center River Campus. The walk was led by Elise Lokey, NWDC Programs Manager and board member for Arkansas Valley Audubon Society. This birdwalk was part of our inaugural Songs of Spring event, which also included raptor meet & greets and an afternoon classical concert in the Riverfront Room, featuring Piano Conversations.


Join us on our 9 am walks on the 4th Saturday of every month.
