Living with Wildlife in Willowbrook
Willowbrook is truly a sanctuary along the Front Range—
providing a safe space for wildlife to live and raise their young.
We regularly see Mule Deer, Bears, Coyotes, Bobcats, Foxes, Racoons,
and occasionally Mountain Lions and Elk. Some are full-time residents,
while others are on their annual seasonal migration through the neighborhood.

Our unique ecosystem here in Willowbrook. We are fortunate to have an incredible amount of biodiversity in our neighborhood. Forests, grassland/prairie, high plains desert, and wetlands can all be found here—literally in our own backyard!
Wildlife is, by nature, WILD! Although many animals living in Willowbrook seem calm and friendly, they are not domesticated and should never be fed or approached. Please refer to the Colorado Parks & Wildlife brochures in this section for Living With Wildlife.
Willowbrook is a substantial habitat for all kinds of Birds!
You can frequently see year-round residents like Red Tailed Hawks,
Great Horned Owls, Kestrels, Robins, Magpies, Crows, Ravens, Woodpeckers,
House Wrens, Spotted Towhees, Blue Jays, and White Breasted Nuthatches.
Seasonal bird migrations include Dark-Eyed Juncos, Western Tanagers,
Cedar Waxwings, Bullocks Oriole, American Goldfinch, and many more!
Stewardship is defined as the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care. The Wildlife Committee encourages all Willowbrook residents to learn and employ conscientious stewardship practices to protect and preserve the animals, birds, insects, plants, and trees entrusted to our care in this very special place.
