*Climate Change Impact on Small Mammals in the Colorado Rockies* We hope you'll join us this *Tuesday, March 22* for the next Boulder County Audubon speaker series!
Do you ever wonder how those beautiful mammals you see on hikes in Colorado are affected by warming temperatures? Many of the high mountain mammals that you know and love—squirrels, chipmunks, marmots—as well as ones you may never have seen—pygmy shrews, montane shrews, long-tailed voles—are moving their populations to higher elevations. In this talk with Dr. Christy McCain we will learn about how mammals are responding to climate change in Colorado and will also discuss changes to mountain mammals around the world. There is so much you can do to help mammals and other montane organisms by more efficient use of energy! Dr. McCain is a biologist and professor at CU Boulder in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. She is also the curator of the vertebrate collections at the CU Museum of Natural History. She began the McCain Mountain Lab at CU in 2008 where they research mammals, birds, insects, and lichens on the mountains around the world and how those montane population are influenced by climate change. *Learn more here!* <https://www.boulderaudubon.org/all-events/impact-of-climate-change-shifts-on-small-mammals-in-the-colorado-rockies-by-dr-christy-mccain> *When*: Tuesday, March 22, 7:15 pm.
