Welcome Colorado

Explore Colorado nature in close-up

Colorado rises from shortgrass prairie through foothills and montane forest to alpine tundra, then descends into western plateaus and desert canyons. A short drive can cross several life zones, making elevation one of the most valuable clues for any nature observation.

From Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Western Slope communities, viewers can use this guide to compare local habitats, seasons, and field marks with original WhatsTheZoom videos. A useful identification starts with where and when an observation was made—not simply what color it appeared on camera.

Habitats and wildlife clues to watch

  • Study prairie flowers, grasshoppers, and birds east of the Front Range.
  • Look for fungi, insects, and forest-floor details in moist montane settings.
  • Observe alpine plants from durable trails during the brief snow-free season.
  • Compare Western Slope riparian corridors with surrounding dry shrubland.

When to look closely in Colorado

Plains activity begins earlier than high-country activity. Mountain wildflowers and pollinators peak during the short summer, and afternoon storms require caution. Autumn brings seed, foliage, and migration changes; winter observation emphasizes tracks, conifers, bark, and open-water habitats.

For a stronger identification, record the date, broad location, habitat, approximate size, behavior, and several viewing angles. Avoid handling unknown fungi, plants, insects, or wildlife, and follow current local access and safety guidance.
