Colorado is a state in the United States of America, admitted to the union August 1, 1876, 100 years after the United States began, garnering the nickname "Centennial State." It was organized as a territory in 1861 from portions of primarily Kansas territory, as well as Utah, New Mexico, and Nebraska territories. It was never a colony. Although Spanish explorers did claim parts of what would become Colorado, no colonies were established and the Spanish land was ceded to the United States in the 1848 Mexican Cession.

Are there bats in Colorado?
Yes. There is a large colony (100,000-250,000) of Mexican free-tailed bats that migrate to Colorado in the summer and live in an abandoned iron mine. This is the largest colony in Colorado. In the winter, they migrate to South America. I have included a link to the brochure about the bats. The outflight that takes place every evening is spectacular and I would recommend it highly. Other than that, I don't have any more specific details about bats in Colorado. I have seen bats during the summer in various places in Colorado, but only a few here & there - nothing like the large colony at the Orient Mine.
