These fascinating creatures are more than cute little rodents who chew up the grass. This presentation is both fun and informative. It looks at the history, ecology, social structure, life cycle, behavior, and language of this keystone species — the pillar of the prairie.

I enjoy learning and playing in the wonders of our natural environment. Topics that interest me are: wildlife, pollinators, plants, wildflowers, bird watching, hiking and natural history.
I grew up outside of Tucson, exploring the Sonoran Desert including Baja California (before there were roads there!), climbing in the mountains of southern Arizona, tracking birds and wild animals including black bear, javelina, mountain lions, even following rumors of the return of jaguars in the remote areas of the New Mexico "boot-heel." The plants, animals, geology, weather and cultures of these areas became a life-long fascination.
I am a recently retired academic editor who has lived in Boulder County for 55 years. I’m an avid xeriscape and native-plant gardener, and I love exploring our wild lands by foot, bike, and skis.
