As fields and reservoirs are turning white with the arrival of roosting waterfowl during their traditional winter migration, plans are well underway for the annual celebration known as the High Plains Snow Goose Festival scheduled February 8-11.
In its 16th year, the festival attracts families, bird watchers and a variety of outdoor enthusiasts to see the Arctic geese as they arrive at their winter roosts along the Western Central Flyway that includes Colorado, New Mexico and the Texas panhandle.
Dear Dietitian,
I am trying to eat healthier and have recently switched from butter to margarine. But people at work say butter is better for you. One person even said margarine’s chemical structure is similar to plastic! What gives?

Dear Healthy Heart,
A swath of south central will continue to see elevated fire risk Wednesday.
The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning, set to start at 11:00 a.m., as wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour return to the area. Temperatures will be slightly cooler than Tuesday, but still reach the 60s, while humidity will be in the 10 to 15 percent range.
“Maze Runner: The Death Cure” really missed out on the “YA book series set in a dystopian future” bandwagon. That trend essentially ended when “The Hunger Games” went out with a relative whimper in 2015. Or maybe it was when the third “Divergent” movie bombed so horribly in 2016 that the fourth movie was postponed indefinitely. This movie would have been considered a pathetic straggler if it had opened in 2016 or 2017 like it was supposed to, and then star Dylan O’Brien suffered an injury that severely delayed production.

The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for the fire danger in southern Colorado Tuesday.
The warning takes effect at 10:00 a.m. for Fremont, Custer, Pueblo and Huerfano counties, along with most of El Paso, western Las Animas, and smaller portions of eastern Costilla, Alamosa and Saguache counties.
Caution should be used with outdoor activities that could spark a fire as west winds gust as high as 35 miles per hour. Humidity is expected to fall below 10 percent while temperatures reach the low 70s.
