On a DFO Field Trip this morning to Red Rocks and Bear Creek Lake Park
we observed a pair of Prairie Falcons a pair of Peregrine Falcons at
Red Rocks. The pair of Prairie Falcons were noticed about 10:00a.m.
flying together and courting that ended in mating on top of a large
rock. The Peregrine pair were seen around 12:45 p.m. calling and
flying interspersed with perching on rock ledges.
The best way to find the birds is to enter Red Rocks at Entrance #3,
which is west of the town of Morrison along Hwy. 74 to Evergreen, go
to where the road forks:
1. Go to the right if you are looking for the Prairie Falcons
and scan the sheer cliff on the right side immediately after the fork.
2. Stay to the left for the Peregrines and follow the road all
the way to the Upper South Parking Lot. Take a left and park in this
lot, then scan the sheer rock wall to your north where the Peregrines
are often seen.
