In this debut episode of the Tale Feathers mini-series, Eva Lark takes flight into a heartfelt and wonder-filled journey through the birds and birding joys of summer 2025 in Boulder County.
Blending the soothing soundscape of Hall Ranch’s Antelope Trailhead with personal storytelling, Eva shares her moving “spark bird” moment and reads a poem by Emily Dickinson. She highlights surprising bird behaviors, like tipsy robins feasting on fermented berries, and marvels at the elegance of the osprey, our local "fish hawk."
Along the way, Eva offers gems for curious birders and nature lovers alike, from the national rise in birdwatching to local hotspots like Lagerman Reservoir and the mesmerizing Osprey Cam.
Eva closes the episode with a look ahead to what autumn holds in Boulder County’s skies and fields. Whether you're a lifelong birder or just curious about the creatures in your backyard, this short and sweet episode invites you to pause, listen, and fall in love with birds all over again.
