The Mountain Plover is a bird that begins arriving to Colorado’s Eastern Plains in early April. Plovers find the short grass prairie and fallow fields in the area to be excellent nesting grounds.
The Karval Mountain Plover Festival began when Karval community members were looking at economic opportunities for this small community. We decided to "bring the bird lovers to the bird". This is a weekend full of bird watching, Wildlife viewing tours, entertainment, history, arts and crafts, antiques, and Lots Of Good Food.
