Life in the Cold: Winter Ecology

Teller Farm North Trailhead East Boulder Trail Boulder, CO, United States

It may seem that life is slumbering during the cold winter months, but the non-human residents of OSMP are doing what they need to survive and thrive. Join us as we walk to the White Rocks trail, full of raptors and winter wildlife. We’ll talk about winter animal adaptations and look for prairie dogs, waterfowl, and bald eagles. This hike will be an easy, social walk, but be prepared for possible icy conditions. Bring binoculars to search for raptors along the White Rocks and waterfowl in the ponds.
