Hi Pete and all, I was also listening to the Rockies game and heard the announcers gasp when the hawk swooped down to catch what was either a "rodent or a small bird" during a play. One announcer said it was the most astonishing event he had ever witnessed during a game! I was at a game a couple of weeks ago and was amazed to see a Swainson's Hawk circling lazily around the scoreboard just at dusk -- it was actually lower than the top of the scoreboard. I have also seen Kestrels there during some games.
