Description
The Chalk Bluffs are a barren chalk escarpment in the northeastern part of Colorado, stretching from the Wyoming border east of US Highway I-25 to near the South Platte River in Logan County and into Weld County. Most of the escarpment lies within the Pawnee National Grasslands.
The bluffs are primarily barren and protected from fire. However, some trees normally found in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains are found there, including: Ponderosa pine, Rocky Mountain juniper, limber pine, and mountain mahogany.
Numerous raptors nest on the cliffs including: Swainson's hawks, ferruginous hawks, golden eagles, and prairie falcons. The bluffs are a favorite site for bird watching and have been recognized by the National Audubon Society as a site of "global importance".
A 640-acre portion of the Chalk Bluffs in Weld County were set aside in September 2001 by the Colorado State Parks Natural Areas Program as the Chalk Bluffs Natural Area.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the Fine Art America watermark.
