Wildlife Wednesday: Lifemates
Written By: Andy Ames, EVWC Board Member
The Estes Valley is home to many animals that mate for life, mostly comprised of bird species such as Bald and Golden Eagles, Red-tailed hawks, Canada geese, crows, ravens, magpies, and Northern flickers, just to name a few. But not all life-mates are feathered. Coyotes and beavers also form life-long pair bonds, although this behavior is less common among mammals.
