Every summer, Colorado’s landscape transforms into a kaleidoscope of color as more than 3,200 species of wildflowers bloom across the state. The peak of wildflower season typically occurs from mid-June to late July, though it may begin earlier in 2022 due to below-average snowpack this year. Flowers bloom at different rates, so visit during the second or third week of July for the greatest variety of blooms. photo credit: Tony Harman  Read More

The majority of baby owls are exceptionally fluffy, with a thick coat of white or grey down. They have heart-shaped heads and black button-like circular eyes. The fluff has a hook-shaped beak protruding from it. In addition, baby owls have a prominent egg tooth, a sharp protrusion from their beak that allows them to pierce the egg as it is hatching. Within a week of hatching, these are gone. Some newborn owls have an unusual appearance, particularly Barn owls, which have lengthy faces that contrast with their white fluffy bodies. photo credit: Tony Harman  Read More
