Wildlife, Landscapes and Geology: Exploring Connections
October 16 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
If you want to view wildlife in spectacular landscapes, it helps to know a bit about the local geology. From rugged mountains, to the rain shadow of the prairies, to deeply entrenched rivers, and glaciated terrain, geology strongly impacts wildlife habitat. Golden eagles soaring mountain peaks, Harlequin ducks feeding in the “kickpoint” of a river, and Burrowing owls on glaciated plains in the rain shadow of the Rockies are some of the birds Dale will discuss. Dale will also explore how geology influences the distribution of mountain goats, bighorn sheep, pikas, greater short-horned lizards, and pronghorn antelope. Join Dale for an informative and engaging event to investigate the close relationship between wildlife, landscape and geology.
