NOTE: After 26 years as a Wild Bird Center franchisee, we are now Wild Bird Company of Boulder - fully independent and still family-owned and operated by Steve and Julie Frye. With our new name and branding, we will continue to offer you even more choices of quality backyard bird seed & suet, equipment, optics, and supplies. And, of course, the same friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Look for an Announcement of our New Wild Bird Company Website and Online Shopping Cart Next Week.
In the meantime our store and current Website remain open as usual, so visit us soon at the same location with the same phone (303) 442-1322 and email address steve@wbcboulder.com.
Thanks for all of your support! We look forward to seeing you and hearing about your latest birding experiences. --Steve

Saturday, February 7, 2015 Bird Walk
Our recent warm weather has opened up a lot of water. All the ducks have moved back onto smaller ponds from the larger reservoirs like Valmont and Boulder. It was great to see large numbers of waterfowl all spread across the water. See the slide show for group shots of Cottonwood Marsh.
