Hi COBirders, I scanned the skies from my outpost on the West-side of Colorado Springs, on the Dakota Hogback, from about 9:15-12:30 today. With the upslope getting in place, I wondered what I might see moving. Actually, with winds out of the North, not much. Those that were heading North were mostly hugging the hogback and were well below me. Things got real active about noon.
Seen today: Red-tailed Hawk - 6, (4 moving North, 2 probable locals (I ad, I J) the adult was carrying a piece of greenery for a while. Broad-winged Hawk - 1 - had real good look at this below me, then popped up and soared around the scar Am Kestrel - 1 Merlin - 2, (M, F), about an hour apart Turkey Vulture - 1 Golden Eagle - 1 (local - near "the scar"), but it also appeared low over the ground, well below me Cooper's Hawk -1 juvenile female Com Raven- 3 Am Crow - 4 White-throated Swift - 8 others seen Spotted Towhee W Scrub Jay, W Bluebird. Band-tailed Pigeon (1), WB Nuthatch, and a plethora of Am Robins on the ground among the oaks Steve Brown Colorado Springs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Join us at the 2009 Convention in Alamosa: http://cfo-link.org/convention/index.php You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
