Dinosaur Ridge: Colorado Migratory Hotspot — Dead of Winter Knowlege Quest with Emma Riley

Join hawk watch counter Emma Riley to learn about raptor migration along Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado.

Emma returns in 2025 for her fourth year counting migrating raptors on Dinosaur Ridge. Named for its world-renowned fossil beds, this ridge is also a window to the seasonal movement of raptors through Colorado. The birds migrate along the Front Range of the Rockies in part because mountain updrafts enable them to soar, which conserves energy during their long journeys.
