I live in an eastern suburb of Denver. It was common to see tumbleweeds on the expressway in the '70's & '80's, along with golden eagles, pronghorn and coyotes. Huge migration of new residents and it's all gone now. ☹️

Player #28435886, I was driving from Santa Fe to Denver and had to avoid hundreds of the darn things tumbling across the Interstate. When I stopped for gas I had to clean them out from the front of my car. Love the song but they were thick that day.

I believe that they are not native to America but were introduced from Eurasia in cattle feed.
