Say Hello To Our Little Friends - Some Colorado Critters







We had the best time spotting all kinds of wildlife. We watched the antics and activities of such diverse animals as the Ebert squirrels, the adorable little chipmunks, the shy "whistle pig" (woodchuck), the gentle deer, a brilliant red fox, many wild turkeys, the reclusive elk, plus dozens of different birds that came to the feeders Buddy kept stocked just for them. Magpies, Stellars Jays, the Rocky Mountain Blue Bird, Ravens, tiny wrens, the list is endless.

This area of Colorado is prime wildlife and bird watching country. We never did see a bear (other than one a ranger had caught in a live trap and brought by the store one day) or mountain lion but there were several people who did.

For the fisherman, Williams Lake and the rivers around Sportsman's (Williams Creek, the Piedra, the San Juan, etc.) have numerous "hot spots" for hours of anglers' fun.

There is a song that says "God may not live in Colorado but I bet He spends a lot of time there". Since God created the Garden, I imagine He loves those places in His world where the landscape resembles Eden. With all the wildlife, birds, streams and rivers, lakes and waterfalls, mountains and meadows that make up this part of Colorado...well, it might just fill the bill.
