For the 3rd year, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks are nesting across from my home (above my neighbors). Hope they don't report me for snooping, the neighbors that is.
Earlier this week, I saw my first Swainson's Hawk over Main Street, Parker. Unfortunately, the tree used by the Swainson's for the past 3 years was cut down this winter to make room for yet another development. To end on an upbeat note, while on my morning run I saw about 30 Tree Swallows surveying an open meadow that has many nesting boxes along its edge but the most exciting part of my run was finding a Sharp-shinned Hawk's nest in a tree just a few feet off the trail. Female on the nest and male on the ground with prey. All in all, it was a perfect morning.
