Wildlife in the Village at Castle Pines

The Village is known for beautiful views of the Front Range and its spectacular pine forest, but a closer look reveals a fantastic ecosystem full of fascinating and majestic wildlife. Nature has provided the Village with abundant animals. The Village is home to a wide array of birds, bunnies, raccoons, deer, fox, coyotes, snakes, and we even have a resident herd of elk along Happy Canyon Road! You might even get a glimpse of a bobcat or black bear!

For general information on bird boxes, their installation, and maintenance, scan down to the “Bird Nest Box General Information.” Pygmy Nuthatch Nest Boxes:  Something constructive you can do to combat Pygmy Nuthatch drilling is to offer them a roosting or nesting box.

It’s Winter: Set the Table! When our Village at Castle Pines bears are done with their fall feasting, it’s a great time to start feeding winter birds. Many of our bird species have returned to their tropical habitats to avoid the cold and the low food supply.
