Meet Julia Gwinn
My journey into birding began with my very first outing in 2017, and I’ve been captivated ever since. Living in Colorado, I feel fortunate to have access to so many resources for learning about birding and connecting with others who share this passion. I’ve greatly enjoyed Denver Field Ornithologists’ (DFO) educational programs and gained invaluable knowledge through field trips. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with Denver Audubon, contributing to various educational initiatives. Additionally, I spent five years participating in CPW’s raptor monitoring program at Chatfield State Park. After completing the Audubon Master Birding Program in 2024, I began leading field trips regularly, mostly with developing birders. Whether it’s spotting raptors or ducks, I find immense satisfaction in helping others uncover Colorado’s vibrant avian diversity. I am deeply committed to fostering a greater appreciation for wildlife, connecting people with nature, and inspiring future generations to cherish and protect our natural habitats—one field trip at a time.
