Gunnison's prairie dog141 viewsPrairie dogs have declined to the point where they inhabit only about 97% of their original geographic range, largely due to poisoning campaigns and plague (an introduced disease). They were a key species in developing and maintaining ecological processes on the prairie, but they no longer exist in numbers or distribution to have a large effect n ecological or evolutionary processes. This particular individual is part of as group that were reintroduced onto the Wind River Ranch.

pasqueflower61 viewsPasqueflowers are one of the earliest to bloom in the spring (in Spanish pascua means easter). Look for them in the last week of March or first week in April. They will be blooming about the same time that turkey vultures return to their summer roosts. Pasqueflowers are living proof that fragility and beauty are not synonymous.Apr 14, 2008
