The Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in Denver is one of my favorite places to visit in winter. When it snows, it is a spectacular place. The white covers up the brown grass and makes for a an incredible winter scene. I saw a number of animals out today, particularly whitetail deer and bison. I even caught a glimpse of a bald eagle roosting in a tree far off in the distance. The only concerning aspect of the snow was driving long the wildlife loop where it had not been plowed. Fun times!
The Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is a fantastic place to see wildlife and the fact it is close to the city limits of Denver makes it even more astounding. I saw bison, several red-tailed hawks, white tail and mule deer, and a couple of kestrels during my time there this morning. Some fresh snow made for some cool scenery as well.
