The report of the Harris's Hawk reportedly photographed "at close range" yesterday at Red Rocks is interesting. I am trying to get more information. In my limited experience, Colorado Harris's Hawks do not allow close approach, so I wonder if the bird could have escaped from a falconer? I understand that they are commonly kept by falconers. Anyone who sees this hawk at Red Rocks should try to get a photo, determine if the bird seems wild and wary and look for signs of captivity - jesses or wingtip wear from being caged. There are only a handful of valid records of that bird in Colorado, and that hand may not have all five fingers. Joe Roller, Denver
