Colorado Field Ornithologists Annual Convention

Please join us at the 2026 Colorado Field Ornithologists convention. Our “Peaks to Prairie” convention means you could get a high altitude bird like an American Three-toed Woodpecker on one day, and a grassland specialty like the Chestnut-collared Longspur the next day. We have extensive field trips available for full- and half-day trips. Combine that with a robust science session, a lively Exhibit Hall, and connecting with fellow birders, and you’ll experience a memorable birding event you won’t soon forget. 

This convention is based in Loveland, CO (Embassy Suite by Hilton Loveland) and is about 1 hour, 15 minutes north of Denver International Airport. Each year attendees experience a different part of Colorado and see new birds and habitats with field trips led by local experts. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends, renew old friendships, and learn about birds in an informal atmosphere.

• See new birds on daily field trips.
• Learn about new research on Colorado birds in the scientific session.
• Attend social events and meet local ornithologists and birders.
• Celebrate another year of birding, education, and research on Colorado’s birds with an evening banquet that includes a special guest speaker.
• Special events for students.
