The primazy <br />chazacteristic of winter habitat is abundant food supply in conjunction with suitable night <br />roost sites. Communal winter roost sites aze usually located in mature multi-layered <br />forest stands of ponderosa pine, mixed conifer, and/or cottonwoods. Eagles in Colorado <br />prefer cottonwood trees protected from the wind by vegetation or terrain, and isolated <br />from htunans. Roosting may occur some distance from open water in Colorado.
