Birds of Prey Presentation

In September 2011, the Birds of Prey Foundation staff brought live raptors—a Bald Eagle, a Great Horned Owl, a Swainson's Hawk, and a Turkey Vulture— and provided an informal educational program about these fascinating creatures. Approximately 150 attended the event at the Broomfield Community Center on a beautiful autumn afternoon.

Attendees had the opportunity to get close-up views of the birds. This free event was jointly sponsored by the City and County of Broomfield and the Broomfield Open Space Foundation (BOSF).

Fishing Derby for Kids

The fishing derby took place in May 2011 on a picture-perfect weather day! The event—co-sponsored by the City and County of Broomfield, the Broomfield Open Space Foundation, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife—drew some 100 anglers trying their luck at catching the trout that were stocked in the Tom Frost Reservoir.
