They took the bird to a special place called the Birds of Prey Foundation. The people who volunteer there treat birds and make them feel better so they can return to the wild. Chinook, pictured above in a cage just before it was released, was recently returned back to the High Line Canal Trail to fly free. You can see Chinook flying away in the picture on the left.

Many flowers grow all around Highlands Ranch.
Some are wildflowers that grow naturally and others, seen in the flower bed pictured here, are planted by people in landscaped areas like parks. There are many different types of flowers with varied colors, fragrances and blooms. Many bloom at different times of the year. To study the plants in flower beds like this one, visit one of the many parks in Highlands Ranch. Coniferous trees, like the tree pictured on the left, have cones and the needle is a modified leaf.
