July 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

It sometimes takes awhile for students to realize the human impacts on the river, such as personal use and growing crops.

Unfortunately, most insects like moths are specialists, meaning they only eat one type of plant, and lay their eggs on these plants.

On Wednesday morning, we met our campers at the River Campus before heading to Lake Pueblo Archery Range to practice shooting archery.

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

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.
