Open Space and Mountain Parks Closes Area for Nesting Eagles

The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Department has begun the seasonal bald eagle closures at the Kolb Property (near 75^th and Valmont) and Coal Creek area (east of Highway 93 near Marshall Lake). The areas will remain closed until July 31, 2010.

Bald eagles generally return to these nesting sites in November. At this early stage of the mating season, the birds are assessing areas as potential nest sites, and disturbances may deter the birds from continuing to nest in these areas. OSMP thanks the community for respecting these closures.

Information, visit the OSMP Web site at www.osmp.org or call 303-441-3440.
