July 2023 – Ranger Ramblings

Turkey vultures—gross but loveable creatures—have returned from their annual migration south for the winter!

Many children enjoy our camps so much that they return year after year, but it’s equally awesome having new campers join in the fun.

We participated in a silent hike, an egg dissection, and an egg experiment (pictured above), which was my favorite activity of the day.

Often wheel-like or cylindrical “snowballs” are formed naturally as chunks of snow roll down hill picking up further snow along the way.

The Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center recently partnered with the Pueblo Zoo and the Buell Children’s Museum for nature programming.

While many aspects of nature slow down in the colder months, we can still observe the many creatures that are still out and about.
