Rocky Mountain Bir Observatory, or RMBO, was first founded in 1988 to address bird conservation needs in the Western United States. RMBO's headquarters are located in Barr Lake State Park, just east of Brighton, Colorado. The RMBO office is approximately 15 miles northeast of Denver. Barr Lake State Park is a nationally important stopover point for birds migrating along North America's Central Flyway and a popular spot for bird watching locally and throughout the region.
