Many species of wildlife share space with us on Boulder County Parks and Open Space lands, including mammals, birds, insects, spiders, reptiles, and amphibians. If you have an interesting sighting, we’d love to know about it.
Feel free to share any wildlife sightings, and if you see something unusual, like porcupines, badgers, or bighorn sheep, even better! Please read the wildlife photography tips below and the list of open space properties. Thank you!
When taking photos, please be sure to follow these guidelines:
Boulder County Parks and Open Space offers opportunities to explore from the prairie to the mountains. At lower elevations, go to Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm, Rabbit Mountain, and Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat.
In the foothills, visit Betasso Preserve, Caribou Ranch, Hall Ranch, Heil Valley Ranch, Mud Lake, and Walker Ranch.
For a complete list of all open spaces with directions, visit BoulderCountyOpenSpace.org.

Question rather than comment. Do you wish to have photos only from official Boulder County Parks and Open Spaces? Noting that others have before me, I included sighting from Pella Crossing and Golden Ponds. Should I remove these? What about sightings from other places, such as Valmont Reservoir, Rocky Mountain National Park (in Boulder County)? Thanks for the guidance
We set up the site as a way to record wildlife seen on Boulder County Parks and Open Space sites (by the way, Pella Crossing IS one of our sites, and after the flood damage, it will reopen to the public this spring) but we know that people sometimes have a difficult time distinguishing which properties are county, city, and other. It is fine to leave postings up from other sites (like Golden Ponds) as long as they are within Boulder County. Wildlife obviously don't know borders, so it can be interesting to see where they show up within the county, regardless of property lines. Thank you for your postings and for participating in our project! Keep those postings coming.
