#EarthDay Last summer, a bird made its entire nest out of fishing line & got hopelessly stuck! Eastern Colorado Area Office staff heard the ruckus and Flatiron Powerplant crew set the bird free. Don’t “fowl” our natural areas! Pick up fishing line, hooks & other trash.

In Estes Park, CO, the 70-ft-high Olympus Dam sits on the Big Thompson River, creating Lake Estes. Some water exits the lake through the gates and enters the Big Thompson River below. Most water enters the Olympus Siphon, eventually flowing to Carter Lake & Horsetooth Reservoirs.
