I made some observations while sitting and engaging with the site at Red Rocks for 15 minutes. The only wildlife I noticed was a family of ducks splashing in the shallow water, periodically dunking their heads under the water. It was 4pm, windy and sunny, about 55 degrees. The cool air swept my face while the sun warmed my arms. The oak leaves held on tight to their northern red oak despite the gusts. Besides the wind and waves, it was very quiet, with few wildlife noises noticeable from the site. This surprised me since I was right next to the forested area of Red Rocks Park. There were multiple boats farther out, peacefully rocking on the Shelburne Bay.
