 SOLITUDE
IN THE CITY--Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge
By Heidi V. Anderson
It's a place where bald eagles soar, mule and white-tailed deer cavort, and
coyotes compete with foxes for food. Black-tailed prairie dogs squeak at one
another while cottontail rabbits rest in their burrows. Grosbeaks, sparrows,
orioles, grebes, doves, pelicans, herons, gulls and dozens of others inhabit the
trees and ponds. You could spend an entire day here and rarely see another human
being. And this serene, natural retreat is right in the middle of--Commerce
City?
