Meet Shay Lyons
I’ve been a nature lover and enthusiastic bird watcher my entire life, and started capital B birding during a trip to Mexico in 2024. I love birding in Colorado, and specifically the Front Range, where our diversity of habitats and changing seasons keep a fun and interesting rotation of birds year-round. There’s nothing like seeing that first Hooded Merganser of the winter in my local patch, City Park, or hearing the lovely and ethereal Hermit Thrush in the mountains in summer. Birding allows me to slow down and connect with the world around me in a way that feeds my curiosity and soothes my nervous system.
I enjoy attending and leading trips that engage all my senses; I especially love birding by ear! I love getting to know the same patches throughout the year. My trips will focus on traveling shorter distances at a mindful pace where I can share my knowledge of birds, plants, habitats, and learn from you too!
